For me, there is nothing better than a to be read (tbr) pile. Granted, some days it can be overwhelming, but the main sensation I get from this stack of unopened books is the satisfaction of knowing each one is going to take me on a great adventure.
Now, even though I have a larger-than-life (exaggeration but seems that way) pile of books, I still accumulate more! That gives me satisfaction as well for two reasons. One, I enjoy collecting books and reading them; two, I enjoy supporting other authors. I like to let them know that their book is being read.
While I prefer my books hands-on, I have recently been getting a lot on Amazon Kindle. Now I have a pile of hard copies and digital copies to read! Life is good. Hopefully this winter will see me through a good portion of them.
