Does anyone keep track of the books they have read? When my grandmother passed away, my mother found a beautiful journal in which my grandmother had tracked every book she had read for about the prior 50 years. (and in that gorgeous handwriting that doesn't seem to be taught anymore - at least wasn't to me) About 15 years ago, I started tracking the books I read in a large address book, keeping the books sorted alphabetically by authors' names. I included a brief description and used a 5-star rating system. I enjoyed looking through this occasionally and it was also helpful in keeping me from buying/lending books I had already read.
A couple of years ago, I found a website - www.goodreads.com - that provides an excellent way of keeping track of books read electronically (under the "my books" heading). The lists can be sorted by bookshelf category, author, and date read (and probably other ways as well) It is also a nice source of book reviews and for keeping track of fellow book reading friends. Since we are all such book nuts here, I thought others might be interested in this as well. If so - enjoy!
