Grub St Lodger's Shelves of Shame

I have a problem - I can't help buying books.
At present I have a rough 40/60 ratio in favour of read books but I don't really want that number to build up so I've created this to shame myself into reading what I already have. If anyone wants to beat me at my own game, it's all good.
Some of these unread books are reference works like dictionaries or collections of a number of books, which I have used or read some of but not all.
