Are there any books that you have purchased but not read?

Yes, I have a ton of books in this house that I still have to read. Some of them I have bought and not read yet, some were given to me, some I got at garage sales or other second hand venues, and some I scooped from my father's house after he passed away. I wonder whether I will ever get around to reading them all.

I read my books after purchase. I have a few I got as gifts that I haven't read, but I don't see a point in buying too many books than you can read. The book will still be there later. Save your money and only buy the books you can read. I just bought two books a few days ago. I'm already reading one and then will get on the other. Won't buy any other books until I'm done or nearly done these two.

I have heaps of books that I haven't read yet, as I have a nice second hand bookshop that I like to visit when I can. The only problem is, I can't read quick enough to even make a dent in the unread books, lol!

I do have some collected books that are still not being read, but I never did purchased some of them but it was given to me freely from some other sources of books Company and if I do have enough time for it, then i'd love to read them all as I am also fond of reading books.

yes,there are some books that i purchased but did not read.but they are not many,because i learned this lesson years ago.money is always wasted on buying books.this does not mean that i don't like books, but i think you should not only buy without reading.i often borrow books from library.that neednt pay.it is more economical,right? only when i want to reserve one book will i buy,or when they offer a discount.

yeah, many. Most of them are computer books that I like to study but have no time. Some are novels and classic books like hunchback of notredame. I also collect books and want to build my own mini-library someday.

I also like books..and I like to read but there are some books that I purchased and like you also I wasn't able to read it cause I'm busy with other stuff and don't have time to read it but I really planning to read it but still I can't even start to read it, sometimes I start reading it but I cannot finish it..I also get good feelings if I have a lot of reading materials at home!!

Hi dbhattji, I have also collection of religious books but 75% of them I have yet to read. When I fully retired from service, I will start reading them all. After retirement I was to lead a spiritual life ignoring all the material world. Before entering into the spiritual world I want to know what is actually spiritualism is. I try to learn many things on spiritualism but I am not getting good material, even if I get, I do not have time to read. One day when I enter into the world of spiritualism I will feel more happy and have a peace of mind. Thank you, Have a nice day.

I went to a book fair once. I saw the books with authors, wose name i've never heard of. So i just picked up some books based on title. One was something like "A winters Tale" (Surely not shakesphere's A midsummer tale). So i started reading it. The book is so insipid that i couldnt continue any further. Its still lying somewhere in my shelf.

hey im also a bookworm, lover of books..just anything, fiction, non fiction,articles, magazines..i hav a small collection. i had bought gone with the wind 2 years back,stephen king, dan brown, i also got body language frm my friend. but as we say rains are the best time to chill out at home, sit in the balcony, watch the rain puring down, while sipping your tea/coffee and read peacefully. i will surely start reading as i cold not find time..once i start i wil make sure i finish it

I know the feeling! I buy books a lot but I don't have enough time to read them all.
