Project "Clean Shelves"

[tamara_russo]

In the past few years (~10?) I've been accumulating books - I think I'm in the vicinity of about 350 books on my shelves at the moment. The thing is, I don't always read them right when I buy/get them. Some books have been sitting on my shelf for some time, a few of them have been sitting there for a few years.

I have had plans for a long time to get through them, but most of the time i just buy new books and read them. Well, no more - project "Clean Shelves" has been going on since the beginning of January and so far I've gone through 5 books, 2 of them have been sitting on my shelf for a few years. My goal is finishing most of the books by the end of the year (at least the smaller books - I don't believe I'll be able to get through all of Shakespeare's writing).

The list so far:

* One of our Thursdays is missing - Jasper Fforde
* What I was - Meg Rosoff
* The Architecture of the Arkansas Ozarks - Donald Harington
* Timbuktu - Paul Auster
* Children`s Mate - Bella Shaier (Hebrew)

I'm now working on David Grossman - which will see at least four books, and then will move on to whatever comes.
