Reading Journal

I call it a journal because "log" always reminds me of poop.

I started a reading journal that officially started on January first, 2008. I started it because 1) I have been wondering just how many books I've read in my life and as opposed to trying to remember, I figured I would just keep track from then on and see how many books get read from then on.

What I did not expect was that, after a while, when you look at the list you remember little things about where you were when you were reading that book and what you were doing when not reading it.

It's like a little reminder of the past and completely cool. I recommend everyone do it.

So, in 2008 (so far) I've read the following:

The Summons - John Grisham

Kingdom Come - Tim LeHaye and Jenkins

Sword of Shannara - Terry Brooks

Tuesdays With Morrie - Mitch Albom

Untitled - Julie Kaewert

State of Fear - Michael Crichton

Wolves of the Calla - Stephen King

Timeline - Michael Crichton

The Stupidest Angel - Christopher Moore

Coyote Blue - Christopher Moore

Hamlet - Shakespeare

The Lost Continent - Bill Bryson

Soldier's Heart - Elizabeth D. Samet

Yes, You're Pregnant But What About Me? - Kevin Nealon

Nothing's Sacred - Lewis Black

Slaughterhouse-five - Kurt Vonnegut

Unsigned - Julie Kaewert

Island of the Sequined Love Nun - Christopher Moore

The Good Guy - Dean Koontz

Cujo - Stephen King

The Testament - John Grisham

That's it but I'm hoping to read at least one more before the year's done.
