I have a whole stack of books I have not yet read. Most of these were either given to me by friends or family, and the rest I purchased based on the recommendation of someone I respect. I have another stack of books that I started to read but eventually found boring. That stack was originally in the first stack.
Then I have a mental stack of books, i.e. a list. These are books I am really interested to read, yet, I can't bring myself to purchase them because I have all these unfinished books. I feel guilty for not reading or finishing all these other books.
I'm guessing this has a lot to do with my obsessive compulsiveness and deep desire for structure and control. But I think I'm going to have to let this go, or I'll end up reading nothing before the summer is over.
Does anyone else have this issue? And would anyone like a stack of free books? :)

I have the exact same stacks and lists. That's the OCD passed down. But now I have HP :)
