Sadly my answer to the question “Have you read all of those?” is in the negative, as I'm much faster at purchasing books than I am at reading them. Three years ago I had a "waiting to be read" shelf - now it's probably a good third or more of my library. And two words you need to be wary of : "folio" and "society" I finally relented and joined this year. Their beautiful collectors editions are just too tempting...
