It begins...

One day, when I spied a pile of books next to my bed, I realised I hadn't read most of them. Then I look at other stacks and the ratio of unread to read is also worryingly lopsided. So I made a decision to read every unread or incomplete read book in my room before the summer ends. Turns outs there is a lot.
