I hear ya! My husband reads like you do. I am afraid the stack of books on his side of the bed is going to fall over and crush both of us. When I can no longer stand it I donate them to the library. The used books store won’t pay me enough for them I’d rather donate.
I had an almost two-foot stack of books on my nightstand that were my 'current reads'. I finished most of them and put them back in the library. The cat kept getting up there and causing avalanches in the night. Now I'm restricting myself to just two at a time on the nightstand.
