Book Stock

I suspect I have a tendency, shared by most book lovers, to acquire books at a faster rate than I read them, inevitably leading to a build-up of unread stock on the shelves, which is not a bad thing in itself as it provides choice for the next read, but a quick stock take revealed a total of 86 volumes unread at the start of the 2014, all remaining as eminently readable as when they were collected; I will keep track of them in the year to see how they match up against new acquisitions in the books read list.
