More Thoughts About Books

Since I posted on Monday, I’ve spent too much time tweaking the code on that post. After totally messing up the flow of the page, I’m back where I started. The phrase “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.” should be my motto. I guess I learn the hard way. (sigh)

Tweaking the code gave my ample time to read that list of books. I really like books. It is a form of escape to world outside my own. This is especially important when going back in time. I may be able to travel to distance places, but I haven’t figured out time travel, at least not yet. Anyways, books make me feel more intelligent. In reality the more I read, the less I know, because there is so much out there. None the less, I’m not discourage by everything that I have yet to read.

However, I do need a better list of books I want to read. So I’m starting a list.  On the top of the blog, you can see the tab called, “Books to Read.” That’s is my official list.  When I finished a book, I’ll add to the tab called “Books I’ve Read.” If I’m really ambitious, I’ll write about the book when I finish it. That will be a regular blog post. If I’m really, really ambitious, I’ll link the book title on the “Books I’ve Read” tab to the blog entry. (By the way, the list on “Books I’ve Read” is much longer than I thought it was. I can thank book club for pushing me long.)

I think this sounds like a good idea. Now it is time to get to work.

  • Now that sounds like a great goal. Your list is full of some classics not to miss. Have a Happy Easter!

  • I’d just like to say I’ve been looking at your blog for a while now and wanted to let you knopw how much I like it. It’s even got me to start up my own:

  • I think your list is awesome. I’ll be waiting to hear what you think about Jane Eyre (my boss referenced this book just today). I just watched a new Masterpiece Theatre version of it as well–very interesting. East of Eden’s on my list as well.
