My plan involves bumping into Borges in the stacks.

I have a read/unread column (red X = no, green check = yes) and have Calibre set to change the text of rows with read books to red.

I would be more interested in how many books I could read after I die. Once I find out I will try to let everyone know.

Is there any way I can arrange not to die until I run out of books to read?

But I also re-read books, so I don't have a real TBR pile of books as every book is in that pile. |

I use a Read column, marking as unread (red cross), read (green tick) and not going to read (unlabelled). I've also got a 'date finished reading' column, although that's only filled in for books from around 2010 onwards.

I'm not going to let something like dying stop me from reading.

I guess I don't think of reading as something to accomplish. I have a lot of books waiting to be read but they're not a list, they're just a lot of books waiting so when I finish my current book I'll have a nice selection ready to browse through to pick my next book.
Reading is for it's own sake and, to me, isn't a goal oriented thing. Anyway, I'm going to live forever even if it kills me. Barry |

Oh good, I'm allowed to buy 200 - 300 more books to come out even. But rereading and library books will muck up the count considerably.
