I have lost track of all the places I've tried to log the books I've read. Some of the places I remember: the back pages of a Filofax that I used before I went digital, a notebook, several different Web apps, some that interfaced with Facebook, some stand alone, the independent reading site that I ask my students to use, but where I was the lone teacher posting...
I have been a voracious reader all my life... but when I finish a book, I tend to forget nearly everything about it, except whether I liked it or not. If I write a few sentences about it, I may remember a little more.
This site is really for me... to keep track. But I'm also hoping my reading friends may want to talk books here.

I'm rereading three of my favorite books because I'm teaching them: Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes, and Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried. I don't have time to read a lot of new things, but I do love having a job that FORCES me to reread so many gems. Except the semesters I have to teach less thrilling stuff.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this site will inspire me. I have The Glass Castle waiting for me if I can wedge it in, on your recommendation.
