Spiritually different intention, but both yield lots of unread material at hand. The parent's is "bought with best intentions" but letting it pile up despite that intention, Taleb's is purposefully accumulating material that you don't intend to read unless a future you finds it helpful to explore that book

This is what I do. When I see a free PDF that seems well written, or was suggested to me, I save it in the bucket “maybe someday I might need that” but l know I will 99% never read. My experience is that it is useful. At least 10 books that were deep in that bucket were useful for me, and ended reading them. I must have 10000 though.
