Sadly (not really), my pile of pbooks to be read still grows by leaps and bounds. In the past 2 weeks alone, I bought 7 hardcover books to add to my to-read pile. I now have 218 hardcover pbooks waiting to be read and another 14 on order.

I'm in that same situation of having the ebooks-waiting-to-be-read pile grow larger. I currently have 157 ebooks on my Sony Reader waiting to be read. (Once I read an ebook, I delete it from my Reader.) I currently have 10 books in my wishlist at Sony and another 12 books that I have downloaded from various sources that are on my computer, not yet read, but not yet transferred to my Reader.

I find it particularly hard to pass up a good Sony coupon, like the current 25% off, so I end up buying a book that will have to join the line. Now if I could only get that 3-month vacation on a Caribbean beach -- sun, sand, surf, and books.
