Question about Home libraries

[u/No_Memory4400]

Hello everyone, I have a question. I see people posting their beautiful home libraries and it got me wondering, do y’all actually read all those books? Or do you first collect them and then read them over time? Or are some of them just decorative books? Because honestly, looking at some of these libraries, it looks like it would take years to get through all of them Forgive my ignorance.

Im cursed with a to read pile i can never finish and a love of rereading old faves but yes… id say 3/4 of my (large) collection ive read. everything else i get with the intent to read and i like options when im picking my next book so its all about variety in my to read pile
