I'm borderline on this. I tend to read the books I have, and certainly don't care to project an artificially inflated appearance of sophistication, but when I encounter free books I tend to grab anything I might read. The result is many unread books that are fairly sophisticated (mostly acquired during grad school).

Glad that you are as “cheap” as me haha. I have a habit of grabbing books for free from the book exchange corners outside the libraries haha

I used to scour the discard piles at the library. When I got married my wife made it clear she didn't want the house overrun with books. She reads a lot too. We now both use kindles.
