I've got five SHELVES worth of unread books (which, surprisingly is down from its peak when I had 9 or 10 shelves of unread books). I'd guess about 30 books per shelf, so that translates to maybe 4-5 years of dedicated reading if I stopped going to the library or buying new books, practices I'm unlikely to adopt any time soon. There are a few books in the unread books stack that I've put there as "re-reads", most notably a couple anthologies of Mexican short stories in Spanish. I envy your ability to dedicate a month to reading. I could clear out a shelf if I did that. I'd definitely stick to the thin books. You’ve got me beat.
