However, because what I read years ago is vague, it is just as fun to read a second time. I don't have much of a system, except for my blog. I tried library thing but haven't kept it up. I like Bandit Jack's mother's book and will have to check it out.Robin Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765229264945106765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-68454802157648573852009-03-30T23:34:00.000-04:002009-03-30T23:34:00.000-04:00I can totally relate to bringing home a "twin" boo...I can totally relate to bringing home a "twin" book.

Okay, my husband made me do it. He started the database and we enter all the books we buy and read, the date we read them, the year they were published, where we got them from and what we have that we havne't read yet. Yes, this may seem obsessive but I have been married to this guy for 43 years and my laziness has not rubbed off on him yet and the older I get the more I appreciate his organizational skills and persistence. If it were up to me, chaos would reign! I would be wearing a funny hat, asking the penguins if they had seen my glasses and reading a book I read last year but couldn't remember.Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282803815704229945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-66268540755806054422009-03-30T05:23:00.000-04:002009-03-30T05:23:00.000-04:00I have to keep a record because like you I've boug...I have to keep a record because like you I've bought and borrowed books I already have or have read!
