I stopped collecting years ago. When I was young, I would pick up books for better or worse because I was a comic book fan and that is what I was supposed to do. I have a couple dozen long bozes in my basement as a tribute to my adolescent excess of disposable income.
Today, I pick up books that I find (or will likely find) entertaining. I am very deliberate in my choices because that disposable income has been replaced by children who need braces and want to be signed up for this sport or that and the realization that a cheap bag of Funyuns is not a meal. I don't buy week to week by intention anymore. It does sometime happen, but barely. I wait, sometime months, for books to come down in price. Yes, I might miss out on something, but then I will find something else just as if I was browsing a bookstore. Dropping the collector mentality really opened up my enjoyment in finding fun things.
