I've got tonns of books, but I never read them. Then what's the point of having them? I might as well get them from the library. I am book/knowledge fanatic and I hate the feeling of not having the informations that I need at the crucial moment. They are my tools.
When the first CDRom on encyclopedia came out, I was deeply addicted to them. I began to actually collect them. I am not really able to read them all. Today, some of the electronic encyclopedias like Grolier are not longer heard. For those that exist, the version had already surpass mine by a big gap.
One of these days, I am going to finish reading an encyclopedia. Yeah, I am just kidding...
