How to keep track of all the books I read in 2008
How I did it: I actually logged all my books on Good Reads, then copied the reviews over here and then posted them to my blog http://curioscopy.blogspot.com I used to just keep a running list in the back of my notebook.
Lessons & tips: Taking the time to write a little bit about what you thought of the book, as a reminder to yourself, can actually help you see things in it that you might otherwise have taken for granted.
Resources: Resources for finding good books
KCRW's Bookworm (author interviews)
Good Reads (reviews by peers, especially other 43Ters)
Barnes & Noble's new fiction shelf (Not to be confused with their online promotions which caused me to buy a couple of books I couldn't really get through)
The Los Angeles Public Library (both as a source for actual books, and as a way to do subject searching. Found a couple of my favorite books that way, which were definitely under the radar.)
