My somewhat OCD Book List
In June of last year i created a thread on a message board with the selfish reason to track the books I read. I often have friends who ask for book suggestions, and I don't devour books but I don't remember all of the books I've read through the years.

Good list. Here is a tip. Amazon.com is a good place to find the forgotten name of an author. For example, John Kennedy Toole wrote Confederacy of Dunces.
Ah, you called me out on my laziness.
Can you believe the only book on that list i've read is Middlemarch? I think the only book we both read this year is Tepper isn't going out. I just posted my reading plan on my blog without even seeing this post. Freaky!
Have only read four of the books on your book list, I'm going to have to check out a few more of then, I read like mad, and am always looking for recomendations.
