I have my library organised by author folders. I also have two special folders, "New Books" for books I've bought but not yet read, and "Classics" which mainly contains interesting looking downloads from Mobileread.

I currently have 296 books in my "New books" folder, and 310 in my "Classics" folder. And while I have read a few of the "new" books before, and some of the "classics" (& some are reference so don't get 'read' in that way), I now have well over 500 novels waiting for me to read them. Hmmm... checking up, I have just over 2200 distinct eBooks in my library, so I've read about 1600 over the past six years. That means I already have enough unread books to last me for about two years....

Perhaps I ought to stop buying books for a while!

I blame the fictionwise sales over the past six months or so. Does anyone else 'suffer' from a long reading queue?
You are kidding right? I think I have like 200+ books in just my re-read queue, because I want to experience them on the e-reader as well

To-be-read-for-the-first-time queue is just ridiculously large! Damn e-ink devices should have been around 20 years ago! I will never finish my list in time. I need to win the lottery so I can retire and spend my days reading and scratching my dogs behind the ears!
