Read all the books on my to read list

I have decided to basically start over on my “to read” list. It’s grown out of control, and my tastes have changed since I started keeping the list. There are a lot of books on the list that are “junk” books, and so they are just taking up wasted space on my list. I think cutting those out, and paying more attention to the books that I add, will help me keep my list more manageable.

I currently keep an ongoing list of books that I want to read, and it has grown to nearly 5000 books. I have read between 10 and 20% of what is on the list, but I add to it a lot faster than I read what is on it! I started keeping a reading journal in 2007, and that has helped my reading to be more meaningful. Now that I work in a library, I am adding books to the list nearly every day.
