Show and Tell-Sunday: My Overdue TBR Pile

I must confess that I am a slow reader (but if you ask my English teacher she’ll tell you otherwise) so you better think twice before lending me your book (i.e. how soon do you need it back, will you miss it in the next six months or so, etc).

To illustrate how seriously I take my time reading, aside from my bookswap pile, here is a list of unread books that I bought last year:

1. The Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami

2. Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk

3. A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore

4. The Stone Gods by Jeanette Winterson

5. Einstein’s Dreams by Alan Lightman

6. The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde

7. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

8. Hardboiled and Hard Luck by Banana Yoshimoto

9. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

And then just yesterday, I ended going book-shopping again! I remember there was a time when I held and read only one book for a whole year that I felt so bad and had to include buying/borrowing and reading more books on my mission list. And now, I just think someone has to stop me from overdoing the borrowing and buying part until I finish all these books.
