Overture

As an English major and lifelong bibliophile, I have amassed quite the collection of books in my 21 years of life. This has proven to be a bit of a problem...not because of the sheer number of books (about 800), but rather because of the amount of those books I haven't read yet (exact count pending, but probably 150-200).

Whether I've purchased the books myself (and I'll admit, there's no place I like to shop at more than a bookstore) or received them as gifts, eventually I just got overwhelmed and never managed to catch up. Therefore, I've decided that I can't put it off any longer. I need to read these books.

That's right, folks. I'm not going to buy a single book until I've read every last book I already own. It might take years, but I'm willing to go through with this. This blog will be where I record the books I finish/the progress I've made/my woes and sufferings/my book-buying withdrawal/anything else I feel is necessary. Here goes!
