Yeah, I have zero in my house now. I have over 1k on my ereader, in my pocket, and on my tablet. Even when I read physical books I never had this many, every time I got to a couple hundred I'd take them to Goodwill for others to enjoy. My reading list is so long, it's not like I'm likely to reread anything. Every book I reread is one other book I won't get to read before I die.
I see bookshelves like this these days it's like someone with a lot of vinyl. They're either old (old to me and I'm almost 50), or just into an old format for some reason. Nothing wrong with that, it just doesn't mean the same thing it used to.
I have a similar mentality, but I do have some that are particularly memorable that I like to return to, like Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy for example. I also have certain books which are less for reading, like the Onion's our dumb century or I have some railroad and travel books that have tons of cool pictures, but once I've read a book (especially fiction) if I dont forsee rereading it I'll pass it along to someone or donate it to free up more space on my shelf for future books. And then my e-reader has a subset of my ebook library on it, with a mix of both re-reads and to-be-reads because that 32GB of storage will easily hold thousands of ebooks so there's no stress to perfectly curate what I'm carrying with me on it
