Too many books, too few hours

So in part of my cleaning today I noted the pile(s) of books that are Waiting To Be Read. These are books I plan to read now, immediately, "as soon as I finish up a few of the ones I'm already reading." 

I can't put them on a shelf (implying that I actually have room on any shelves?) because then I will forget that I really, really wanted to read them. And so they stack up -- and up -- and up -- because I am always finding or being given or bringing home from the library other books, important books, which also much be read immediately, and usually before the pile(s) of books that are Waiting To Be Read. So things tend to, er, stack up.
