I really need to start doing this but I can never remember what I've read already. I think I either need to start with the books I'm reading NOW or just start next January. Also, I need to read The Red Tent. It's sitting in my desk. It's weird though. Whereas you read mostly fiction I read mostly non-Fiction. Although I am reading Inkspell right now and loving it.

That being quite why I make lists. The reason I don't forget is I add the finished book as soon as I'm done. Often I've picked up a book and gotten halfway through it saying "I KNOW I've read this before..." or conversely had thoughts about a book I've read and not been able to remember what it was called or who it was by.

I don't actually read books to educate myself, unfortunately. There is something about them that bogs me down, as much as I want to learn and am interested in the topics I find it difficult to get through nonfiction informative literature. I was told once it's a learned skill, though, and I'm working on it.

Fiction is my escape. I read to be somewhere, someone, sometime that isn't here and now and me. Reading for information is the exact opposite of escapism.

Do you like the "Wicked" books? No one else I know who has read them does.
I'm about to finish my fourth book in a month! So excited.

I have only ever read Wicked and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, both of which I liked but are not among my favourites.
