Hm...writing down everything I've read or reread would be tricky.
But by far the most memorable book I (finally!) read this year was Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset. It's a huge book and quite an undertaking, but indescribably incredible. Probably my favorite book of all time when it comes to fiction, and I've read a LOT!

Hm...writing down everything I've read or reread would be tricky. Start now for 2005. If you're on a PC, open a new file in "My Documents", call it "Books 2005" and write down what you're reading currently (assuming you don't finish it in the next 30 hours or so). Update it as needed.
Someone else can give Mac directions. (Actually, I use a DOS file. Yes, I did just turn 40, how did you know?)

My wife loves "Kristin Lavransdatter", and she wants me to read it. I haven't had a taste for fiction these last few years and I'm afraid a book about the spiritual trials of a Norwegian woman will book me to sleep.
Heck, even writing the sentence "the spiritual trials of a Norwegian woman" nearly put me to sleep!
