When I was in the 4th grade I started reading regularly, and it was at that time that I began keeping a list of the books I’d read. Unfortunately, in my early twenties I gave up the task, thinking it was compulsive. Today, I wish I had maintained that book list, for I’d love to scan the titles of all the books I’ve read and reread. Below you’ll find my current list of completed books. I’m also maintaining a list for completed audio books. Additionally, I often review the books I’ve read. You’ll notice that book reviews are indicated by titles with active hyperlinks. I’m going to make an effort to review more of the books I read.
