I have lots of math books. And reading a page takes maybe an hour or so. The result is that 99% of my library is unread. No regrets.



Think of it as your wine-cellar, you wouldn't keep all those bottles after you've drunk them!


Same here.

I have a few "masters degrees" worth of books... physics, math, origami, Japanese, art/design, photography. I've had to force myself to slow drastically buying in favor of reading the ones I already have. Also, I'm running out of space.


Same here. Every time someone checks out my bookshelf I tell them that I only read a few select pages from most of those books during my studies and that's it. No regrets, too!


I have about 20 papers that I printed to read still sitting on my desk. I'll read them someday...
