I am sympathetic with you. I have a similar problem, namely that I own on the order of 200 books (not counting collections), purchase at least 1 per week, and seldom commit myself to reading an entire text sequentially. I laughed out loud when I read your post - it sounds like a post I would write. One day I'll learn the art of selectively reading interesting parts, but cracking open a fresh book and starting on page 1 is an unbeatable feeling... ;)
