The Unread
This is a list of the books on my shelves which I haven’t read.
I’ve meant to copy this idea since it was originally posted. I am really good at buying books, and almost as good at starting them, but pretty bad at finishing them and ever so slightly worse at remembering them. Here is a list of all the books I need to read or sell, organized alphabetically, irrespective of the extent to which I previously read them.
This is why I started doing book challenges, the To Be Read Pile Challenge in particular. Between this and last year’s challenges I’ve read maybe 20 books that might have sat on my shelves forever. I now own fewer than 100 books that I haven’t read—which is really, really good for me!

Good effort - I also have a large-ish number of unread books. But I have read Ways Of Hearing, so if you’re looking for a place to start I recommend it ;-) (Loved your wisdom of crowds comment too!)
