I have just found a new resource- Internet Archive, thanks to this post on The Neglected Books Page. I’ve now acquired texts of the following books to add to my e-reader. Between this and the Gutenberg Library, I could easily spend hours browsing through titles and add tons more material to the kindle. Is this a good or a bad thing? Who knows when I’ll ever find time to get to the e-books again. I’ve even forgotten what’s on there at this point. They wait patiently for another travel day…

So many good books!
I love your TBR posts! I'd like to do one as well, but the number of books I have waiting for me is daunting.
Oh, it often feels overwhelming! Sometimes I've thought of making a calculation: the average number of books I read per month compared to the number of books I abandon compared to the number of books I add to my TBR. I'm sure it's an exponentially growing number, so if I don't get stricter about abandoning books that really aren't thrilling me, I will never get all to all the ones I want to read. But isn't that half the fun of it?Then there's the number of books I keep on my shelf that I want to reread someday… not sure how to ever factor that in.
I do calculations like that once a year, in my year wrap up post. I suspect most of my readers don't care, but I really enjoy seeing the stats.
I count stats and the end of the year, too, but I've never included a TBR count.
So many books!! It always makes me feel so happy to look at the books I haven't read yet — I'll never, ever, ever run out. 😀
