thejunipertreeLots of people have addictions. Alcohol, drugs, sex, shopping, World of Warcraft.
I read a lot, I read fast, and if I don't have anything to read, I get irritable and snappish.
My habit used to be fed on a normal basis. I worked for Tower Books and received a fat employee discount. Additionally, we were also allowed to take books out on loan (three at a time) and I had an employee account that was a form of credit. The jones uneasily slept with a steady fix.
But, since I've moved home and no longer work at a bookstore, I'm forced to actually pay for my books. Full price, even! Buying my own books has been difficult (finding home for all of them is even more trying, in my tiny apartment), but I have been getting by. God bless Amazon's "new and used" sellers, is all I have to say.
At any rate, I had an idea the other night as I was driving home from work. A catalog of all the books I read in 2007, to see what I've read and how many times I've read it.
This starts at December 2006, simply because I'm reading several books right now that I will still be reading when the year turns over in a handful of days. December will be mostly incomplete because I can't remember every book I read that month.
