I'm also somewhat stuck in it. The only advice I can give you is what I apply myself - if it's free, I'll store it somewhere. If I don't start reading it within the year, and the blurb still doesn't entice me, I delete it. Good riddance.

I only read what interests me. Sports isn't one of them.<br /><br />I still have a ton of books on my Nook (and so sorry I got that one) that have gone unread.
