To-be-read piles

Book hoarding, Marie Kondo, Thanatos

An old photo of my library. My to-be-read shelves are now the bottom three.

To-be-read piles tell you more about people’s reading habits than the books they actually read. I’ve got, of course, one of my own¹: it occupies a quarter of my limited shelf space and some of the books in it have been waiting to be read for over twelve years. Interestingly it consists mainly of non-fiction titles, which either means that I read fiction more willingly or that I don’t read much of it².
