La Vie En Rose for 2005 December 30 (entry 0)

(3) Fri Dec 30 2005 12:47 PST If they asked me...: I thought this would be kinda neat to do, before I realised it would take me THIRTY HOURS. But as I discussed with Becca, she and I (and Chris) have become rather OCD in terms of organizing information lately. This is an example. For another example, you can see the books in my library tagged "read 2005" at LibraryThing. This, sadly, though, is not complete, because I've reached my 200 book limit, so I can't add the rest of my books until I magically become a lifetime member.

Anyway, here is a list of books I read all or most of during 2005, in order of most recently completed first. Fun Times.

Cheater! I was typing up my list of books/pages read the last two years (so I can brag!) when the internet magically worked and I clicked on your page.... oh well. I still love you!

how am i cheating? ...I guess this list would be a lot shorter if I didn't include the books for work, some of which I only read half. Can't wait to see your list tho... you should do a library thing and we can compare!
