Having placed myself on a budget, I'm actually managing to reduce the size of my recently purchased but unread books pile - right now there are perhaps 25 unread books ready to read, and maybe the same number that are still detoxing, so I won't be able to read them for many months in some some cases.

Fortunately, should I reach the point where my budget doesn't actually give me enough books to read in any given month and the recently purchased but unread books pile has disappeared, there are actually a goodly number of books that David brought into our library that I haven't read but might find interesting.
