The main purpose of the list was to catalog all my books, and document which of them I have read.

I have 318 books (not including the 3 excluded categories listed below). I’ve read about 20% of these (though it might be more because I did not count books I thought I had read, but couldn’t remember very well).

I excluded the following from the list:
(1) Reference Books, such as dictionaries
(2) Language Study Books, except ones I’m working on now
(3) Poetry Books—I’ll add those some day

I’m glad I did it. It really motivated me to read all the books I’ve been working on. I finished reading 2 books over the past 24 hours.
