Books: The Stack

I like to read. A lot. But I've noticed that somehow, books tend to pile up a bit as they wait to be read. So, here is my Stack, the books I haven't gotten around to reading yet. I pulled it out, just so you could see it. Normally, The Stack is much better disguised than this, distributed on bookshelves in four different rooms. That way you can't see how big it is. I actually had no idea how big it was until I counted. But here it is, a mixture of books I picked out and gifts from others:

The Nonfiction Stack
1. On Liberty, Mills
2. The Swamp, Grunwald
3. The Map That Changed the World, Winchester
4. Going to Extremes, Sunstein
5. Writing Down the Bones, Goldberg
6. The Pursuit of Happy Results, Anderson
7. Thank You For Arguing, Heinrichs
8. The History of the World in 6 Glasses, Standage
9. Democracy in America, de Tocqueville
10. Hen’s Teeth and Horse’s Toes, Gould

It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there it is. Some of the books in The Stack haven't been there long, but some have been in it so long that it's getting embarrassing; so, this summer I'm going to try to work my way through at least half of The Stack. Maybe more. Wish me luck. I started 2 of them this weekend.
