    Way too long, I just keep adding more than I can keep up with. I could probably cut books that I added years ago an no longer would be interested in… Currently 545 books

    My to-read list is an ever growing calamity, but I’m only ever consciously aware of handful of books near the top of it at a time, which keeps me sane and moving forward.

    Currently, it’s around 75 books. It used to be over 200, but I realized there are only certain books that I will actually read, so I narrowed it down.

    A majority of these books have already been released, and there are some that I’m just waiting to be released (and of course there are some that I want to read but don’t know when they are going to come out).

    I used to keep a list but I don’t bother anymore. It’s never hard to find a new book to read. I usually have my next read started within a few minutes of finishing the last.

    I have a general idea of a few books that I want to read soon, and a loose sense of hundreds of other books I might get to eventually, but I’ll never read them all.

    Too long…

    Want to read some Malatesta, a book about ID Software, and This is How You Lose the Time War, but my nature makes this difficult. I always think like “Wow I want to read” and then will continue sitting on some game or website instead lol

      If it helps, I read the ID Software book a few years ago and it was great.

        I’ve heard! ID fascinates me on the whole so I imagine it’s great, thanks for the motivation!

    I try not to overexpand my list because until I have the time to tackle all of it, I might lose interest in the selected topics. We grow over the years and our interests change with us. This is why I limit my list to a year’s worth of books.

      Same here but only a month or two. Sometimes 6 months go by and I realize I have only been reading a single author, sometimes it’s all over the place. But I don’t think I plan hundreds of books ahead of time at all, based on this thread I’m maybe odd man out.
