fun things to do with your book database. presuming you’re dumb enough to keep one that is. i’ve produced a page of the books that i have yet to read. 72 of them at the current count.

this is completely useless to me really because the majority of them are just sitting on my bedroom windowsill waiting to be read. for the most part it’s easier to look at the windowsill than it is to look at the webpage. all it does really is prove that the longer a book’s been on the to be read mountain the longer it’s likely to stay there.

most of those long unread books aren’t books that i think are bad, just books that haven’t looked interesting enough to pick up to read but that looked interesting enough to pick up in a bookshop somewhere. a lot of them are used books. books i splash out good money on are likely to get read a lot sooner than ragged 50p paperbacks.

mainly what strikes me is that i feel these books are entirely unrepresentative of what i actually read. there’s a problem to be addressed here somewhere.
