readingtogetherTitle 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.

I know you didn't ask for advice, but I'm being nosy: could you write the live blogging notes as you read and put them up on the site later? Or does that defeat the purpose?
