Do you mostly buy physical or digital books?
My digital unread list is hundreds of titles long, and it doesn't bother me much. It pales in comparison to my "read later" bookmark list.
My physical unread pile already occupies half a wall of my room, and just for being there it gives me aesthetic pleasure and bragging privileges. I used to think I should be worried, but I decided to embrace the pile. I guess it still hasn't reached the point where I should really be worried.
A mixture of the two, but there's not really any psychological distinction between them. Once I resolve to read something, it has the same amount of "weight" regardless of the medium.
