What I read and what I think about it.

When I was nine or ten, I had the brilliant idea to start a notebook with a list of every book I'd read, and the dates that I read it. I read a lot as a kid, and it was (and still is) one of my greatest joys. And I'm a natural pack rat, so it appeals to me to hold on to those books after I've finished them by keeping track of their titles. Somehow, I never got around to starting the list, and every time I've thought about it since, I've cringed at the thought of how many books I've read and not listed, and then I can't bear to start it. Well, I'm starting it now.
