But I see it like this: keeping the list also tells me which books made such impression that my brain does find them worth remembering.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-5543530831184128722012-12-07T08:20:30.655+01:002012-12-07T08:20:30.655+01:00I imagine that, like many folk, you would love to ...I imagine that, like many folk, you would love to have a list of all the books you had ever read from the age of 'tiny'. Every so often from my late teens I started lists but never kept them up to date. Now, like you, it has only been in recent years that I've tried to list every single one. The sad thing is that I can't recall the details of some of those I read just five years ago. I stare at the names and titles and think 'What was that sll about?'Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-21652462187201853132012-12-07T06:48:32.252+01:002012-12-07T06:48:32.252+01:00Such a list is very useful when otherwise you'...Such a list is very useful when otherwise you'd be unsure about whether you've read a certain book or not.<br />You already know that I review every book I read on my blog; I started that only about two years ago, and of course I have read hundreds (if not thousands) of books up until then. Sometimes I do realise I've read a book in the past when I come across it now - that's for NOT having kept a list such as yours :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-66356748405301278052012-12-07T06:31:19.594+01:002012-12-07T06:31:19.594+01:00Ambitious, that would be writing a review of every...Ambitious, that would be writing a review of every book.
