    Default a lot of books that I don't read

    Which is correct:

    1-I buy a lot of books that I don't read, but I also buy a lot of books that I do read.
    2-I buy a lot of books and don't read them. But I also buy a lot of other books and do read them.

    Both 1 and 2 are fine, but 1 conveys the meaning more concisely.
