Howards End is on the Landing.

The book starts out: "It began like this. I went to the shelves on the landing to look for a book I knew was there. It was not. But plenty of others were and among them I noticed at least a dozen I realised I had never read."

Susan Hill is a British writer and this is her account of a year of not buying books. Instead, she went back through her library and re-read books. She also read books she'd purchased but never read. She categorizes them (example: detective novels, women's books, travel writing).
