But I'm having a hard time deciding out of all the books I have. Something I seem to already do. I have been trying to read more from home and now I have to. Last Friday, I returned a stash of books I'd borrowed from the library, with the plans of reading from my own stash for a while. Who knows now how long that "while" will be. Why do I seem to find books I want to read at stores, then have trouble deciding when to read them? Or wait years to do get to them? I'm guessing I am not alone on this.
But even as I try to make my way through my books at home, I discovered how to read them online through the Northern California Digital Library. So far, I have only borrowed one book this way and have several on hold, many of which have a waiting period of "about six months." I never really got into reading e-books until recently (don't have an e-reader, but have other ways to read ebooks).
One thing I'm glad about is that I don't have a lot of hoarded books so as to make my house look like what is seen in the photos below:
I cannot imagine areas of my house looking like this. I don't know what I would do if this happened. Some of the stacks of books in the pictures look about ready to fall over.

Chuckled when I read your post. I am a hoarder of books as well - so have lots to read now that the library is closed til mid April, probably. Enjoy!
I am a book hoarder but haven't (yet) got to those levels. Most of them are still in bookcases (albeit stacked two deep).
I'm getting close to one of those pictures. I'm building a new set of book shelves which will alleviate a big part of the problem. I've pulled out two Stephen King paperbacks. Now, the question is am I tough enough to read them. I love his writing but his stories scare the h e double hockey sticks out of me.
That would be a lot of books to deal with:)
I love my kindle.
Can you imagine trying to find a specific book in one of those piles?
