A shelf is a more honest record than a reading list, because it includes the ones you did not finish. I go along it in order and do not skip the embarrassing part.

## What is in it

1. 00:30 The four I reread every year.
2. 03:20 The nineteen I abandoned, and the page-sixty rule.
3. 06:45 The one I have started five times.
4. 09:10 What the shelf says that the spreadsheet does not.

## Made with

- A slider, used once and regretted
- One 35mm lens
- Two lamps

The barn conversion book is on there three times. I have no explanation.
