A list of stuff sitting on my shelves waiting to be read...sometime. (the goal is to slowly decrease this list until they have all been read and the page is empty...probably in about 25 years or more since I keep buying more books.)
My new goal is to keep the new book purchases to a minimum (I ran out of shelf space). Every time I walk into a book store, I take a little notebook and pen with me. I write down the titles I want to read, then drive directly to the library. Every time I walk out of the book store empty-handed, I stick $20 or $30 (that I would have spent) into my savings account. Every little bit helps!
