I think I'm going to ATTEMPT this challenge (as I've already tried other methods of getting down to reading all the books I've accumulated. Methods include drawing up a list and sticking it up on the wall where I can see it everyday- at eye-level when sitting at my desk. Doesn't work!) All my good intentions go down the drain once I step into a bookstore (especially when there's a sale!), enter a library or pass by a second-hand book stall. *sigh*

Stop hoarding and start reading! This is a challenge for people who, like me, collect books faster than they can read them. You can't walk past a second-hand bookstore without popping in "just to take a look", you go nuts and then go broke at book sales, you've downloaded more e-books than you could possibly remember. You think readers who need new books because they've read everything they own are just weird. At least half the books you own are unread.
2011 is the year you will read them.
Well, 25 of them anyway. Hey, it's a start. The only rule for this challenge is that you can only read books you acquired before the challenge started. E-books are included. A fair amount of honesty will be required here, especially if you haven't listed the book in your Goodreads library yet. But think of your shelf space and your sanity and don't cheat.
Remember you can't re-read anything for this challenge. It's about reading the books you already have, so that at the end of the day there's a smaller number of unread books on you shelf or in your e-book collection. Re-reading defeats that purpose.
Have fun :)
