In a nutshell, indiscriminate buying from charity shops.
It was bad when I was just doing it with science fiction, it got very bad when I discovered that contempory fiction is good too, and it went into total freefall when I started working at a charity shop.
I understand that normal people, if they're interested in a book, wait to buy it until they'll be able to read it. Me? I'll just buy it anyway, even though I know it'll be years before I get around to it. Me am genius, clearly.
