These books are currently sitting on my bookshelf or eReader waiting to be read. Many I’ve purchased at the same time (Boston Book Festival, Harvard Bookstore Warehouse Sale, Goodwill, etc.), and others are on my eReader as they are one of the pre-1923 versions. I hope that one day they’ll all be crossed off, but let’s face it the list will probably increase much faster than it decreases!
