The Narrowing Path by David J. Normoyle [to review]

"...Read books on your shelves that have gone unread for far too long. Selecting books from the year before (in this case, 2012 and before), read as many of the unread ones as you can. It’s up to you if you want to keep them or give them away afterwards, the main goal is to turn those unread books into read ones. The Main Rule: Do not include books acquired during 2013, it defeats the purpose, read those books from before 2013 started."
