I've bought thirty books over the last three months and I've began maybe half of them, dropped at least five or six of them halfway through and finished two.

That's why I only buy hardback editions. It prevents me from doing impulsive purchases

Thats totally normal for people suffering from deracination. If they only give you hype and marketing to go off of you will be forced to waste a lot of time bringing books into judgment. It's completely wholesome and human to do this for a few years as long as you can afford it and aren't being bled dry.

I don't think you actually know what that word means.

If you have a full time job/education and had only finished a couple more books that would be totally fine. You don't need to read all the time.

There are only like 2 stories in Tales of the Dying Earth that are any good, I wasn't optimistic by any means going into it, just expected more than 2 to be good.

Deracination has to do with being removed from ones natural place of living/geography/habitat.

hm, overall not bad
a varied selection
you might come around to reading them some day
there is nothing wrong with just letting a book lie about for a while and waiting for its time to come

Correct. Piracy is theft and theft is immoral.
