I like buying foreign language books but I cannot read them because it just takes too long
The only way I read them is on my computer or on an e-reader
It helps that I’ve been buying a book or two a week for like 15 years so I’m always getting what I’m looking forward to reading. I’d imagine those who buy in bulk have a lower ratio

Perhaps you should try buying up auctioned storage lockers. I went to rehab in another state like five years ago and I lost 95% of my personal library when my parents stopped paying the rent on our shared storage and I lost it. Hopefully whoever got it appreciates books!
If it was just about the books, I'd just go plundering libraries. But there's other stuff to plunder. Imagine finding some basedjak lego youtuber's lego hoard or something. It would be the modern version of dungeon crawling looking for ancient grimoires.
No. I recognized early that I have very strong hoarder tendencies, so I tramped down on that intentionally. Also I then discovered libgen, so that helped A LOT.
I have a copy of the Hobbit in Faroese. I want to collect copies of my favorite books in other languages. I almost bought a Mandarin translation of the Odyssey from the used bookstore I used to work at. The benefit there was that I speak Mandarin.
Yeah I have over 2,000 kindle books

I have a whole small room with 6 full bookshelves in it. Kinda cool having a mini library. I’ve read probably 75-85% of all the books I’ve bought
Not a bad ratio tbh

? doesn't every household have some sort of home library? where are you from?
Do they? Is my country pleb central? Most people's living rooms have either no books or like 10 books that someone gifted them though the years.
Which country? Every home I've ever been in has had a few shelves dedicated to books at the very least.
what this anon said
maybe you live somewhere very humid where it wouldn't make sense for people to store books at home or something like that?
I'm ashamed to share my country now.
Do you live in a very poor country? Books aren't cheap.
pleasant digits
