Full List of Unread Books

It's been a bad year. Well, it's actually been a good year full of fantastic new books and newly discovered books and recently unpacked books. As a result, the stack of unread books loitering around my home has become truly ridiculous. Thus  I present this list, in an effort to shame myself into finally sitting down to read them!
