#ToBeRead

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

The bibliophile is the master of his books, the bibliomaniac their slave.”
— Henry Ward Beecher

I look at the overspill of #books from my shelves and the #ToBeRead piles and I sometimes feel overwhelmed like 'is this too many? Will I live long enough to read them all?' but keep succumbing to bargain find temptations but I am also in awe & love of the copious beautiful art and photography books and the strange compelling range of other fiction & nonfiction books I own.

The REAL problem with long #TBR #ToBeRead lists and shelves is that it’s hard to sneak in re-reads of old favorites.

Oh, and for those of us who are aging, the dawning realization that we won’t ever read all the things we want to.

My to-be-read book pile is often made up of recent buys, previously bought but not yet read, withdrawn library books & loans from friends. These include fiction, non-fiction, philosophy, crime, psychology & biography. There is never a defined order of which is to be read when, rather the pile is rifled through & the next book chosen by mood or whim. 'Brother Kemal' is half-read & then I'll shift to my Kindle for two weeks while I am travelling. What's in your pile?
