There are several books in my library that I haven't read, and because of this I've been contemplating how to resolve this predicament. Should I read chronologically in accordance to the Age of the text?

A list of the books might help. If you're looking for general rather than specific advice, and if you intend to read them all anyway, I'd say read whatever you're in the mood for at that moment.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Mahatma Gandhi
no , not at all. it doesn't matter the age of the text, just pick out what you want and have fun.
"Where should I begin" and "chronologically" well 'begin at the beginning, like an old ballocks, can you imagine that?" (sorry reminded me of Beckett). How literature shapes our thoughts!
When I don't know what to read, either I turn to PG Wodehouse or to a classic that should have been read years ago but I never read it for one reason or another. Finished My Man Jeeves the other day, moved on to Andrea Levy's Small Island. finished it in two days and now I am reading Jane Eyre while in the background, the slow hard labour of reading Proust goes on unabated! So read what you want to read, not what you have to read but keep it in your mind that sooner or later some books have to be read and will be read.
"The farther he goes the more good it does me. I don’t want philosophies, tracts, dogmas, creeds, ways out, truths, answers, nothing from the bargain basement. He is the most courageous, remorseless writer going and the more he grinds my nose in the sh1t the more I am grateful to him..."
-- Harold Pinter on Samuel Beckett
why don't you go with topics/or authors's name in an alphabetical ascending or descending order?
Or you could just go with dates starting with the most recent.
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
