Just got your email. You got a ton finished. I'm going to look now. I didn't realize she had so many. I can help at a later point, along with the photo scanning project...

yeah. i'm reading this one thinking "why did I like his other books so much?" It's just meh. But it's not a mystery! I'm also going to finish my currently reading list. I'll have to start over for the third time on Blink. I finally gave up on More Mortgage Meltdown. I just couldn't do it. Have you tucked in to Salvador Dali tomb yet?

ok. I changed my columns to: cover, title, author, date, tags, entry date. And when I view your library it's by my column selection but....when I was editing I noticed a box at bottom you can check for how you want visitors viewing your library.

If my addition is correct I'm at 56 for the year

How are you keeping track of the number for this year? Is there a "by date" feature that I'm not seeing?

I'm doing terrible. I'm not even finishing a book a week. Pathetic. I've been watching movies in the evenings and spending countless hours looking at chicago real estate.

btw every time I see that book "the rest is noise" i think of you. How was it? It at least got 2 stars from you.

Congrats on achieving your goal. I've been not so great about updating my list of books so they all go on in batches instead of how they were read. Usually the only ones I have notes on reading are the ones I really enjoyed, gave as gifts, or recieved to review. Still, I have about thirty on my top shelf I haven't entered yet. Things like dinner and work and laundry keep getting in the way of reading and writing and updating my Library Thing page.
