I wasn't forcing myself to read books out of guilt; they were books I genuinely wanted to read that kept getting pushed to the back of the line. For the last month or so, though, with the arrival of lots of shiny new books by my go-to authors, I found myself seeking out classics/nonfiction primarily by length--the shorter the better!--so I could quickly get back to the new releases. Which was just dumb.
