Overview

 So I appear to have bought too many books over the years. Believe it was slowly built over two decades since I was a teenager.

With growing storage problems led me to count actually how many unread books I currently have. 

1343 is the current count as of 3/2/2025.  Yikes. I need to keep an eye on this a little more.

Its a bit of a behemoth of a pile to read but adding this publicly for anyone else who wants to keep track of a large pile of books over time .

Rounded the count to a nice round number.
