Question: Help! My books are breeding!?
at my last count I had over 50 unread books in my room!.
Every time I go into the bookshop I buy at least 3 books and I read the ones that I buy first so the ones from the last time get put to the side!.
What can I do to cut down my book buying!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Are you providing those little condoms for them!? No!? No wonder! They need a big bowl of those tiny condoms or they will have lots of picture books!.

Seriously, when you go to the book shop, don't take any money or credit cards!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

get a goodreads!.com account!. You can keep track of the books you want to read!. So when you see a book in the store you just have to have, write down the title and author, and when you get home, look them up on goodreads and add them to your to-read list!.
also, devote an entire bookshelf to books that you haven't read so that once you finish a book, all the potential books to read next are all in one place!.

Try reading the books you haven't read yet and keep reading until you have read all of them!. Then if you really need books try the library!. Books for free!

Don't look at bookstores!. Keep you mind focused! I have the same problem except I read all of mine!. I have about 300 books in my room not including the one scattered around the house!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds like you're a compulsive book buyer!. If the problem is just books, then you have to stay out of bookstores for a while!. Force yourself to walk right by the door and just remind yourself that the books you have are just as interesting as the ones you don't have yet!.

also, better take this test :)

Do as I do!. I keep at least two books in the bedroom, two in the bathroom, and two in the tv/living room!. I'll pick up any one of them and read depending on my mood!. Donate or give the ones you're done with to a friend!. To cut down on expense, I buy most of my books second hand!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I used to have the same problem!. I have sold most of them now, since you can get pretty much anything online!. I'd sell some that you don't use on ebay or to a local bookstore!. Try using the library more too!. You'll save $!.
I love books though!.!.I feel your pain!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Start using the library instead!. That way you have to read and return them in a certain amount of time!. Cuts down on the expense AND the clutter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Give me all your cash and I will start giving you a weekly allowance!. also, donate your old books to children's homes, that's what I do!. The clean content books, of course!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just don't buy any more until all are read!. Those books at the shop won't disappear if you don't buy them right away!. Save your money for something big!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
