Books I've read
Nov. 20th, 2006 10:41 amWith the book list going around recently, I realized that I have no idea what books I've read, even recently. I just read what seems like a good idea at the time. With that in mind, I'm going to try to put them into LJ when I think of them. While completion of this list is obviously a futile objective, hopefully by thinking on this for a while I'll be able to at least get a good skeleton of the total body.
It's not as ridiculous for me to try to do this as it is for most of my friends. I don't read that much, but I'm hoping that when I get it all jotted down it will be more than I think. In that respect this is a bit of a confidence-boosting exercise.
I've been making an attempt to read more this year, since sometime around the end of last year I realized that I had read something something like one book in the last 12 months and got pretty disgusted with myself. I've actually discontinued my magazine subscriptions, partly to help get a little more time to read other stuff.
I haven't looked at the bookshelf yet, just going from memory/Wikipedia free association here. It's interesting to realize the extent to which I pretty much have no plan for reading; I just pick up something either out of convenience or recommendation, and if I like it I tend to read more by that author. It's also interesting how many titles I can look at and not really be sure if I've read it or not.
( list inside, which is probably of interest to no-one )
