23 things - catch up time

I have been leaving a few comments here and there on other blogs.
I've signed up to library thing. my list is here. a bit short at the moment, but it could grow.
my grandfather used to keep a record of all the books he read. he also used to make a couple of notes about the book; what it was about and what he thought of it. every now and then i've wondered about making a list of all the books i have at home. this could help. it's also a way of keeping track of books i've read. it's a matter of whether or not i want to spend the $10 or $25 US dollars (i presume) and if i felt like spending the time on it. at the moment it seems like an optional extra.

I haven't kept a record of my reading since early high school, when we had to produce a list of what we'd read outside the curriculum, and give each book a rating out of 10. I should get back into that.

Generally I work on the assumption that if I've read a book and can't remember what it was about or whether I liked it, then it wasn't worth reading. Really good books (and ironically also really bad books) always leave a very strong impression on me. I always think that books are like people; the worst thing you can feel for them is not love or hatred, but apathy!
