I used to keep a written book diary, but 3 years ago when I moved, I either threw it away or misplaced it. That was a record of books I’ve read since I was a senior in high school (a very long time ago). When I joined the various book groups around the internet, particularly Shelfari.com, I realized how valuable that book diary would have been to have an accurate record of all the books I’ve read and either loved or not loved over the years. I still keep hoping that diary will turn up somewhere, but in the meantime, I have to be content with the list I’ve built up at Shelfari since I joined there. Now I want to get 1,000 books posted. I have no idea how long it will take… be interesting (to me) to see.

Right now I’ve got 525 books on my Shelfari shelf. These are books I’ve read. I want to increase that number to 600 mainly because I’m starting to expand my library beyond its seams, and I need to read what I’ve got and then get rid of the ones I don’t plan to keep. I WILL NOT buy more shelves! So, if I read 75 books from now until 31 January 2008, I will have sufficiently reduced my pile of books so I can then buy more. :)

I finished a game of Prime Suspects in 4 hours 42 minutes and 58 seconds. The best record on the game scoreboard is 3 hours and 30 minutes. I’d like to try again to see if I can come closer than that.
