Yes! It's really hard!

My favorite is when I find a duplication, because that lets me "get rid of books" without actually getting rid of the stories....

I read fanfic every day and I will always have a book on my nightstand that I'm reading. :}

I just caved in and bought 21 books by an author I like (used, of course, I couldn't possibly justify new) because there was a sale and I've had them on my 'buy when you see them at the used bookstore" list for a while now.
Well, they weren't all one author. Actually there's several in the mix. Still. I'm feeling pretty guilty right now so of course the solution to that is to read a bunch of books I have already, right? So I can say that I really do go through and read them a lot?

I finally managed to finish my collection of the James Yaffe "Mom" mysteries, plus got my own copy of Janet Kagan's "Hellspark" so the library's copy won't disintegrate entirely. A number of the Dr. Siri books, plus John Moore's "Slay and Rescue", the last two Terry Pratchett books I was missing, and a replacement "Shadows" by Robin McKinley since I'm pretty sure my copy will not be returned to me. Or at least not in the foreseeable future, which is when I want to read it. Then a nonfiction book on cave bees, and another one on city planning (practicalities, not philosophies) which I promised a Nepali friend I'd find and send to him. I'm thinking I should pick up a second and third copy though because post doesn't always make it to its intended recipient, I've found, when I send stuff to him.

So now I'm reading through all my Tanya Huff, Georgette Heyer mysteries (not the romances atm), and when I'm done with those I'm planning an assault on the Gordon Dickson "Dorsai" series.

A terrible mix of guilt and glee, yes....

I read a lot, usually one book per week.))

I'm mostly reading Life, The Universe, and Everything by Douglas Adams, but I'm juggling a lot of books right now.
