101.89 Sort read/unread books

101 Things

Carried away by reading a whole ten books in January, I thought I'd reassess (and reorder, and reshelve) the Unread Books. 491 fiction, plus a heap of non-fiction, graphic novels, Teach Yourself Visual Basic 3 in 21 Days and so forth. On the one hand, that's enough books to keep me going for ten years given my average recent reading rates if I don't get any more. On the other, 9 more books would make it a nice round number :-) and I do need to leave some space for Book Club.

That way madness lies...

I haven't counted mine, but I think it's somewhere in the 50-60 region. The reason the pile doesn't go down much is it's heavily skewed to non-fiction, which takes more time and brain power to get through.

<counts> 54 unread!

This is only possible because I started anew when we emigrated ;-)

I don't even know where all my unread books are!

There's a box in the living room that came home from Novacon via the Reading Group Xmas meal and has sat in the hallway until last week ... who knows, maybe I'll open it before Easter!

I like lists ... I should do a 101 Things to get stuff sorted out, sold off and decluttered. I'll make that item 1 of the list :-)

491? lightweight.

You can pick nine of mine to make it up to a nice round number!

Since you have 'em in a spreadsheet, how about doing LibraryThing? You can do a mass import ...
