So many books.
Jun. 7th, 2010 12:48 pmSo I'm sitting here at work, trying to plow through all this STUFF, and come across a stickie that has the title and author of a book recommended to me by
superbeffie. Then I realized that I really haven't gone through and updated my reading list in far too long.
So I've spent some of this lunch hour doing just that; I've deleted a few books here and there that I might have wanted to read at one time but no longer have an interest in, struck-through the ones I've completed since the last time I updated, added a couple that weren't on the list before (including Beth's recommendation), and then renumbered the list.
Several of these, I've checked out but didn't get a chance to read them before they were due...which is why they remain on the list even though I've had them in my possession before.

If I ever get to the point where I update this on a more regular basis, I'll make sure to clear the ones I've read off the list entirely. Right now, however, they serve as a reminder to myself of what I've read.
Now I just need to pay my library fines so I can go check out more books. It's only ten bucks, but I'm slow and lazy. *snerk*

Thank you for sharing!
