 I adore Leo (of Zen Habits) but I just don't think any of us here are likely to get very far with this! :D

 Yeah, obviously he hasn't realized that that whole book sharing thing (hey look, bookcrossing!) somehow just multiplies the number of books that you end up with!

 Lol, having not read the book in the last 6 months as the standard for purging would certainly pare down Mt TBR for most of us!

This would probably have the opposite effect on me as I would want to buy/obtain the book I didn't get to read again ...

 Actually I have every once in a while gone through my books and decided there were some I wasn't going to read and moved them along. But then I got to a book store, library sale, or BC meet-up and I come home with more than I got rid of. :blush: So why bother to try to downsize?! :giggle:

 Pare down my books? But I can think of as many reasons not to as I can to actually do it. Maybe more, and each reason has a title and pages!
