I have such a backlog of stuff that I have adopted a very different method: the read stuff goes into boxes and is replaced by unread stuff coming out of boxes! Unbelievably, I still have a bunch of unread paperbacks by John D. MacDonald, ten or fifteen of them. Or maybe I did read them a long time ago... with such a prolific writer, I can't keep it straight.
I have also been using libraries a fair amount. It's a nice way to find stuff that I would not necessarily seek, knowing nothing about the author or not being aware of an author's whole production (most recently, the case of Eric Ambler).
Best,
