I’ve been consistently keeping track of the books that I read for almost a year now for the sole reason that sometimes I forget what I’ve read and buy the same book (or checkout the same book) twice. Midway through the first chapter I realize that it’s all sounding familiar. Sometimes I make it halfway through the book and then all of a sudden it clicks. It’s pretty lame when I realize that I’ve wasted a good day or two on re-reading something.
I’ve found that the monthly list helps me remember what a book was about - the season helps trigger the recollection of what the weather was like, where I was when I was reading, who I talked to about the books, etc…
I’ve been managing all of this on my backpackit site, but I don’t pay for that site and the page limit restriction is hassling me, so it’s time to clear up some space.
