Lists of Bests: BGGirlinUS's "Books to Read from My Personal Library" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/55896 I have a very extensive personal library, but never get around to reading my books because I am either borrowing from the library all the time or buying new ones. My goal for the next five years is to read as many of my own books as possible and to give any books that I will not re-visit away.
