I have about 3 year's worth of reading that I keep relying on retirement for. It's something I look forward to. But retirement as planned is not a reality at this time, so. . . .

I have I believe about 6 or 7 books in a stack waiting to be read.

Well...
Actually this summer I bought a ton of books. Before it actually hit me that this year I have to pass the national language test. Which implies reading a LOT.
So if you put together the books I have to read for school, and the books I want to read for myself... I've got a lot. Like... around 42. I dislike Time.

I think I have 42 just on the bookcase in the bedroom....

A couple of weeks ago I re-organized and counted about 50. But I recently began riding the train to work instead of driving, so I've made a good dent.

::sigh:: Too many.

I work in a library and people ask me to recommend books yet I can hardly recommend any. I'm so busy with school, it's hard to find time to read fiction.

Haven't counted but I'd guess at least 30, probably 40.

School has started again for me too, so that TBR pile is feeding off my anxiety and getting bigger as I sit here. I'm currently reading Factotum by Charles Bukowski as the fiction (though its pretty much autobiographical) luxury hilight of my day.

As soon as we're done with home remodeling and redecorating I'll be digging into my huge pile of books. I'm happily retired.
