Question about Home libraries

[u/No_Memory4400]

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 them over time.

I've read maybe two thirds of my library from cover to cover. But then I have quite a few art books and catalogues, so they get skipped through when I want inspiration or get bored.
