Lists of Bests: Cody Schroeder's "Books In the Closet." http://www.listsofbests.com/list/44510 All those books you buy with the intention to read that just start stacking up, out-of-sight, in the closet. They piqued your interest at one time, you bought them to read them, but things happen, our attention somehow gets turned away. Those books are still just as interesting, and they're just waiting for you. They are free gifts that your past self has sent your present self, to be enjoyed now. Starting now, I'm going to pull them out and read them all. This is a great way to save money and have something worthwhile to do. The harder part of doing this list will be: not buying any other books. But, this is a long term reading list, so I'm sure I'll be adding a few books to the repertoire.
