There are probably another 20 or 30 new books lurking in my shelves unread, I kept on stumbling over them when I was reshelving everything. When I've finished the 57, we'll start on the rest.

I may be a lightweight, but I tend to feel that, given the fact that I read very fast and continuously, there is no excuse for me. The unread pile has only really started accumulating in the last couple of years. If I wasn't rereading old favourites all the time the unread collection would be toast, I say, TOAST! (Also, full-time work doesn't help. Dammit.)
