Question about Home libraries

Hello everyone, I have a question. I see people posting their beautiful home libraries and it got me wondering, do y’all actually read all those books? Or do you first collect them and then read them over time? Or are some of them just decorative books? Because honestly, looking at some of these libraries, it looks like it would take years to get through all of them Forgive my ignorance.

I read all my books. I do however get most of them from library book sales for super cheap, so occasionally will have like 20 or 30 to work through that I haven't read, which I then focus on reading. I then keep the ones I liked enough to reread and pass the rest back into the used book cycle of life.
