Oh my god! That looks like the pile of books that is currently sitting underneath my desk!

I keep moving the pile around hoping a new location will give me the necessary kick in the guts to start reading, but I just keep adding to it.

I toss books out on their ear* if I don't get to them in 2 months or so. And it's the book's fault, not mine.

Prioritize. If the stack was smaller and less intimidating perhaps you'd read more of it than you are reading now.

You really bought 6 books just on Rails? That seems a bit ... excessive.

Yes. It is.

Well remember you can buy as many books as you'd like but they're no use if you don't read them ;)

Save that money for a cup of coffee or something.

Cousin?
