Wednesday Intended Reading Post

Or: what DIDN'T you read this week?

We all have things we mean to read, but never quite find the time, whether it's a bunch of unopened tabs, or an ever growing pile of books by the bed.

What's on your to-be-read list this week?

Somewhat.

A year or three ago I went trough my bookshelves and sort of half pulled out all the books I had never read. The idea was to read as many as I could before I spent anymore money on books...

I got through maybe 5 or 6 of them before a new book in a series I was reading came out, and then I started buying new (and secondhand) books again.

oh, I hear you on that. I went through a phase where a book I had read was put on the shelf the 'right' way, and a book I hadn't was put in spine facing up, to try and get me to read the collection. Eventually, I hated the way it looked, and tidied it so that all the ones I had read were on one shelf, and all the ones I hadn't were on another. Also drove me batty...

These days, I have 4298 books in librarything, 2260 of which are tagged 'unread (fred)'. Even allowing for my dodgy updating, not good...

I actually have a 20 year plan for getting rid of the books that I'm never going to read. I kid you not.
