It seems to me that enforcing a book-buying moratorium on myself would be fully hypocritical since I'm going to spend the rest of my life encouraging people to purchase books with my name on them, so I'm going to go on a book-buying diet for a few months, and see if I can't lose 10% of my bookweight.

I have also decided to stop reading out of obligation. I don't need to be a completist. I may ditch a series if I'm not enjoying it! I may, I may!

Nothing wrong with that. I'm notorious for starting novels and stopping around page 100 or 150. Sometimes I'm even enjoying them, just not enough to read what I've already read so much similar to before. And because I have other things I want a whiff of. I do this with UF a lot. I call it market research. ;-)

I promise I won't do this with yours. *g*

Realizing I don't have to finish books has saved me a lot of time. Having just set one aside today, I'll have to find something I won't mind having interrupted when yours arrives next week.

Well, mine CAN go on the stack. Especially since you've read it in some form before...

Ha. I'm too curious to see what's different, for one thing.
