New could be = old

I've been buying books like mad. Mostly non-fiction. And once I'm half way through I dump them on my shelf with the bookmark. Is every book I buy an addition to my understanding? Or just to my stock of books?

Do I remember what I understood from all the books I bought in all these years? I don't even know if they are different from the ones that I'm buying these days. Revisiting the already read books could just add all that I'm seeking from the new ones I'm buying. Possible.

What applies to books applies to other things as well. Isn't it? Just check.

    I’ve been suffering from the same syndrome since the last year or so. But I take comfort in the fact that its a knowledge treasure that I am trying to build. But we hardly remember everything that we read, especially from the management kind of books. Hence I am going to only buy books that I can read anytime I feel like and books on human behaviour, history, etc. For the remaining, I am genuinely going to explore the library way like we used to do when we were kids. Going to try librarywala.com. Hope its good.
