Just for fun, I keep track of the books I have read, lest I forget them (starting June 2002). Most books (printed and electronic) are borrowed from the library. I love the library...don't buy books before you read them! If a book is intellectually valuable enough to me, I'll (usually) purchase it for my personal library (PL).
The symbol "(e)" means that I read the book electronically (on a Sony PRS-505 Reader). The symbol "(r)" means the work is a re-read for me. The symbol "(a)" means I'm "reading" the book in audio format (unabridged versions only, thank-you), most likely borrowed on CD from the library and ripped to my iPod. (8.6/12)
