I'm a firm believer that a book's timing is everything. That is why I continue to amass my To Be Read pile of (actual) books. Here is a shot of them (these are the tier 1 TBRs - tier 2 are in a basket on the other side of the leopard chaise). After a murder mystery I might want something light, then a heavy drama, then...who knows? I can sleep easy knowing that whatever mood comes after this book, the next book is waiting for me in these piles.
I have no doubt that an e-reader is in my future - so much easier for upcoming Ireland? - but I really cannot imagine not having the gluttonous joy of a stock pile of books.

I hear you, I totally hear you, and there are some books that I want to make sure I will always have access to in a print copy. But stacking up to-be-read books is fun with the Kindle, too. You can get these kinds of pretty displays: http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/kindle/www/maczama/merch/mac-home-sm._V198826815_.jpg
I like my piles but I will admit that your picture is good too...and less of a mess around the house.
