In the summer of 2008 I decided to keep track of the books I read. I started a small journal where I record every book I read and give it my own rating and a small review.Some of the books are books I have read before, but loved so much that I just had to read again (and again and again...). I do try to stick to 'new' material as often as possible, however, simply to broaden my horizons.
Eventually I will post a review for each of the following books, but for now, a rating will have to suffice.
