My Fanciful Accounts

Once upon a time in xangaland, there was an author who started stories and his contacts added events until he decided to conclude them. Some of the finished projects were truly inspired and ever so creative. Now wouldn't that be a book for authonomy!
As an avid reader and a person starting to run out of brain storage, I started keeping a book journal several years back(pre library thing,etc). The idea started when I began checking out books that I had already read. With so many new books up for consideration, I thought keeping the journal would help me sort out old from new more efficiently. While googling for book journals, I discovered an article about a girl/woman who had documented every book she had ever read. What a legacy to leave for one's family! As a person who dabbles in family history, I thought that kind of journal would rank as high as old letters for revelations into who an ancestor was. As of 2000, I had four different book journals and a booklist running on xanga. I decided to consolidate all the years and titles into one larger journal. I still have booklists all over the internet and I have just posted six current reads to my new Librarything account. http://www.librarything.com/home/LindaAtkinson
I like seeing what other people are reading as a source of curiosity and future recommendations. However, the offline book journal is the ultimate list. I keep it next to my current read; no password required :-)
