I read loads of books but dont seem to have the discipline to stick to clear topics - or I picked them wrong

Nov 18, 2008, 2:57pm (top)Message 12: billiejean

I had a similar problem. I just changed my categories so that the books I read would all fit. I changed my science category to science and science fiction or fantasy. I changed suspense to suspense and mystery. I know that some people have a catch all category for just whatever they read. Also, I couldn't pick out my books beforehand. I would just change my mind too often.
