Backlog's been smooth. Stalled halfway through 2666 whenthe whole novel just becomes descriptions of murdersand knocked out some easy single-evening reads while I gear up enough gall to tackle Bolano again (The Hobbit and The Notebook).

My backlog had slowed a bit, but now it's back to growing beyond my ability to make a decent dent in it. Over 1,200 and climbing, not counting things to reread. At least I'll never run out of good things to read and the pressure's off as far as actually succeeding in conquering it.
>>7427751
I have 558 books that I own and haven't read yet.
About 100 of them are anthologies and collections of works that I've partially read, though.
