I am pathetic
May. 4th, 2011 11:33 amAbout 1995, over the span of about 3 months, I paid good money for books that once I started reading them, I realized I had read them before. It happened about 3 times in a row. I had this shiny new website that needed content so I figured book reviews was as good as any and I started a list of all the books I read, complete with little reviews. Many years later, I moved the list over to Goodreads.com where I keep it up to this day although I do not read nearly as much as I used to.
I have 762 books that I have read on the list today and 73 that I have listed as reject. I *thought* I checked every time before I picked up a new book to read - particularly if I was paying for it... But...
I finally gave up this morning on a book I had bought. I just could not slog through it. I went to goodreads to mark it as a reject where upon I discovered that in 1998, I read it and LOVED it. What.Ever
Today I'm starting the latest Michael Connelly. It will not be a reject - at least I know that for sure.
