read
So I have a fairly auspicious goal that I've just decided on: to document and record every single book I've ever read.

ahem

This is a daunting task...and honestly quite impossible, realistically. So, I obviously need to cull down the list somehow. For instance:

.:list only novels
.:list only novels that I remember, and consequently must have really liked
.:children's books from way back are probably not to be listed... lest they be especially good like the Chronicles of Narnia or something
.:alphabetized? yeah right.

So that should be enough to get me started, I think. I do this as much for myself (so that I don't buy books I've already read) as I do for you. Peruse at will!
