Via Jack comes a meme with a point. From The Stacks Winter Reading Challenge. Reduce the pile of books sitting beside the bed. Pick five books that you’ve bought but haven’t read yet, and read them, between now and January 30th. Simple.
- A Deepness in the Sky - Vernor Vinge (been on the stack for five and half years)
- The Clerkenwell Tales - Peter Ackroyd (two years)
- Collapse - Jared Diamond (six months)
- The Algebraist - Iain M Banks (one year)
- Who On Earth Is Tom Baker - Tom Baker (four years)
books beside the bed? Mine are all downstairs and kept purely for show…
Downstairs: edit: Whoops the picture was too big for a comment
Upstairs by the bed is just the tip of the iceberg.
