I read a lot, I read quickly, and I read a wide variety of material. My shelves hold children's literature (classic and new), Victorian novels, theme mysteries, science fiction, philosophy, religious texts, mythology and folklore, fantasy, history, works on the performing arts, graphic novels, occult and natural philosophy texts, books on alternative healing, Edwardian novels, Middle English poetry, Renaissance drama, women's fiction, literary criticism, Canadian literature, and a grab bag of other stuff.
I note down the date I purchase a book on the inside flyleaf, and until recently that's the only way I had to keeping track of what I read at what time. When I began my blog in February 2002 I listed what I was currently reading in the sidebar, but titles quickly scrolled off to be replaced by new works. As of June 2004, I began to keep a file of all the books that appeared on that reading list, and that page now constitutes what you see here. Sometime in 2007, on the last day of the month I began posting a summary of the month’s books I’d read, and now I just copy and paste them here when I remember to update the page.
I also have a virtual shelf over at Shelfari, a website that hosts a community of book-lovers. My profile and shelf can be found here. And no, it doesn't even begin to represent what I actually have on my physical bookshelves!
