LibraryThing
People love to keep lists of what they've read. When I was in elementary school and high school, I kept a handwritten list of what I read in multiple notebooks--for about a year I even included my "reviews." I still have those notebooks...somewhere. Every now and then I stumble on them and enjoy scanning the lists of what I read back then. In some ways I was a more eclectic reader back then than I am now. I wouldn't have thought I needed to keep lists anymore, but this very morning I couldn't remember if I had read the latest Janet Evanovich or not. Even reading reviews on Amazon didn't spark my memory. I don't know if that's a sign that my memory is going, or that Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books are getting to be so repetitious that they don't even stand out anymore.

I do think that after a certain number of books in a series(8,9,10?)most people need help in telling them apart. That's why I am glad that Evanovich started her NASCAR series.
I must say that many of us were fond of keeping reading lists back in high school. It would have been wonderful to have LibraryThing available to us then.
