My incredibly long list of physical books in my office that I should read soon

 I have a problem. I have a problem that many book readers have. People keep publishing too many books that I want to read. I buy the book, I put it on the shelf fully with the intention of reading them in the future, but then another book comes along and I want to read that one, and then... and then... and then...

So, I have a stack of books - well, not a stack, shelves full - of books that I mean to read, but haven't. So here is my end of the year accountability post for all of the neglected books that are a little bit depressed because I haven't gotten around to reading them yet. If you see one I would love and should start with, by all means, let me know!
