: Does anyone else out there do this? I keep a cache of Vance books--deliberately unread, some years old--on my shelf and select only one or two per year, thus prolonging the joy ("future pleasure," I call it) of always having some "new" Vance to read. (Yes, I know the bottom line: Eventually I'll come to an end. But I've succeeded in delaying it.)

I forgot to mention that all this deferred reading only works so long as I stay alive. If I die tomorrow, then I go to the afterlife leaving a number of Vance books unread. That's not the way I want things to go.
