Jeder kennt ihn. Jeder hat ihn. Diesen Stapel Bücher, der immer wächst, egal was man sich vornimmt. Der einfach nur stumm daliegt und sich über jedes bisschen Aufmerksamkeit freut. Dieser Stapel steht einsam im Regal oder liegt in einer Ecke oder – wie in meinem Fall – verteilt sich über Regal, Ecke und Kindle-Cloud. Es gibt aber auch so viele Bücher und als Mensch hat man immer irgendwie viel zu wenig Zeit. Und dann, dann sind da noch die ewigen Favoriten, die man ja doch ständig wieder liest, mit Vorfreude und mit Liebe und dem nagenden Gefühl des schlechten Gewissens, dass man doch lieber mal ein SUB-Buch lesen sollte. Hach ja. Kennt jeder. Versteht jeder… also, naja, jeder, der Bücher liebt.

Hier versuche ich mal zusammenzutragen, was sich über die Jahre so angesammelt hat und sehnsüchtig darauf wartet, gelesen zu werden. Ich habe dafür mein Noch-zu-Lesen-Regal bei Goodreads exportiert, weil das wesentlich einfacher war als alles von Hand abzutippen.
