Book Log: 2001
For a few months now I have been attempting to keep a log of books I read. I'm tempted to include magazines, articles, zines, etc., as well, but I'm afraid I won't know where to draw the line and become obsessed with keeping track of every damn thing I read. At some point I hope to make this an annotated list.
