Read all the books I own, but haven't read
I wanted to do the challenge of banned books. But I found out I have already read 8 out of the 10 most banned books of all time.
Many of the banned books are good to read - they open the mind and give you knowledge.
I am very surprised about the list.

I am very surprised about the list.
I have decided to keep track using Goodreads.
I used to borrow so many books that the librarian would ask me questions to check if I had actually read the books. Now I live far from the library and just seem to buy and collect e-books. I also read much slower now. Plus, I'm experiencing problems with my vision. I don't like getting my eyes checked anymore. It used to be at an eye doctor (I have always had glasses for being nearsighted) but now one has to go to the stores that sell glasses - yep, the store that gives you a free eye check-up but makes their money selling glasses.
Anyway, I guess I should read the books I own. I read some last year, but that was last year. I will not put a timeline for this goal.
My friend gave me a tablet. Kindle and others like it are easier to use on a bigger screen than on a small phone. So I don't really have any excuses for not reading now....lol.

Admittedly, I'm going to get part way to this goal by: Giving away all the books I own that I don't actually want to read!
At the moment I need to read 41 unread books. So maybe I should stop getting more book?

Perchance these are all in Dutch, some I bought myself, but most of these 14 books have been from my parents -as you can see by the age of the spine of some of them.
And yes, these are just 14 of the ±75 books I listed below.
And yes, these are just 14 of the ±75 books I listed below.
When I was younger, I used to be a major librophile, but I kinda lost the devotion lately. Still, I can't resist buying second hand books so I have a whole pile of books which I haven't read. I will change this.
