I have the same problem and I always have. I feel like a good story is like a good friend and the idea of giving one away is like asking me to sell a piece of my soul. I do read all the books I buy and often times more than once but that argument didn’t hold much with my husband when he discovered the boxes upon cases upon bags of books that litter our attic. His solution was a compromise. Last April he bought me a Kindle for my birthday. I can still get my reading fix but I get the stories at a discounted rate and the 112 books I have purchased and read over the past 11 months are stored digitally on Amazon’s servers instead of being snuck in the house and hidden under beds. A solution we both can live with.

Ironically, I don’t own any Douglas Adams novels. Although I was in a book store today and they had the whole Hitchhiker’s box set on sale…

I think your obsession with books is kind of like the kid who doesn’t want to go to bed when there are guests over: he’s afraid he’s going to miss something interesting. It’s the same reason I have about 300 websites bookmarked that I’ll never actually re-visit. In your case, I think you have this suspicion when you see a book you haven’t read that there might be something important and relevant in there and you don’t want to lose the opportunity (or potential opportunity) of discovering it. If you can convince yourself that the answer to life, the world and everything, really is ’42′ then you might be able to let go of a few of those unread books.
