Kate's Book List (an [hopefully] ongoing exercise).

I've been wanting to do this for a while: keep a list of all of the books I read. I actually probably start a list once a year or so, but then I always forget to update it. I'm hoping that this forum will help me remember (I'll link to this post in the "Etc." section on the left). Also, if you've read something I have, I'd love to talk about it!

But feel free to ignore this. It's the ultimate in self-indulgence: blogging something just for myself, not something for myself thinly veiled as something for other people!
