One Shelf at a Time

I've embarked on a new project.  I am going to read one book from each shelf in my local library.  Sometimes I'll get lucky and be able to choose a book that's already on my to-be-read shelf, or maybe an old favorite, other times I'll just have to hope that something looks interesting.  Check back here to keep up with my progress.
