Life is short, and books are many

I keep a book diary - an actual, paper, diary: I record what I have been reading in a spiral-bound notebook. When I reach the end of a volume, I index it, for future reference, and I also post that index here. Previous years, and more explanations, here.

For the benefit of those playing along at home: not all diary entries, by a long way, make book posts in this LJ; but pretty well all book posts in this LJ will eventually make diary entries. There is a time-lag, which varies in length but it currently much longer than it should be. ( There's no reason why anyone should want to play along at home - it isn't particularly interesting -but experience tells me that you do. )
