I maintain a list of books I'd like to get round to reading one of these days.  I am an avid reader; however, I find that my ambitions for reading are far larger than the actual time that I have to allot to it.  And so I keep a list of books that I've heard about that sound as if they'd be interesting or entertaining to read.  One of these days I'm going to get round to reading them.
