But that might be counted as cheating a bit.
I don't consider that sort of cleanup to be cheating, but rather intelligent selection of what's worth reading. That's not to say that at some point in the future a book you winnow off your TBR now might not find its way back. But it's much more realistic to only have books on there that you actually think you might read in the next year or two.

I did some of that cleanup myself, realizing that certain books just weren't going to make the cut.
