Challenge: Climbing Mount Tsundoku

[fred_mouse]

Title stolen from a James Davis Nicoll article over at ReacTor from Some Years Ago. Tsundoku is, roughly speaking, acquiring books and then not reading them. As I have just borrowed more than ten books from the library, and ordered more than ten from an online bookseller, I'm about to be awash in books that need reading.

So! the challenge, if you are interested in partaking, is to look at the mountain of books you have acquired with good intentions, and over the course of the next 1-3 weeks (depending on how many check-ins happen, and how much oomph I have), see if you can make a start on reading something.

A good challenge, thank you for hosting! I’m setting myself the goal of 1.5 books (finish one and start another)—I just began Nocturnes for the King of Naples last night, which I’ve owned for a few years, and I must pick something else off of my physical bookshelf when I finish that.

Good plan!
