Reading a discussion on a Discord server, I realize I don't really have a to-be-read pile anymore, only a couple of kinds of "the library will want this back soon" [hardcopy vs. kindle/ebook], and a vague tendency to see what I have on my kindle, which is equally likely to lead to rereading an old favorite, or starting something I downloaded a while ago, or something ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude bought and shared. That's how I finally read Delany's Stars in My Pocket like Grains of Sand, which I started while sitting in the Mt. Auburn ER a few months ago.
There's a certain amount of out-of-sight, out-of-mind, here, which means that once cattitude finishes reading a book and shelves it, I'm not realizing "hey, we have $Book, I want to read it," even in the places where our book preferences overlap.
I should also remember that about half the books in our living room are thingsadrian_turtle owns and I haven't read, some of which are or might be interesting. In the last few years, I'd gotten used to thinking that I'd already read all the books on those shelves that I was interested in, so wasn't looking there if I wasn't in the mood for rereading.
[Right now, I am reading two library ebooks, one in Firefox on my desktop computer and one on the kindle, not counting the one I have on the kindle, set aside a couple of days ago, and may or may not pick up again before the library takes it back.]
