Book lists
When I first starting reading blogs I often came across book suggestions and reviews and started to keep them all in an email draft. I can't quite remember why I decided an email draft was the handiest way to do this but looking through some old emails today, I found that draft and decided to post the list here. That way, I know where it is if I'm looking for it. It's also interesting to see that even though I hadn't thought about this list for years, I have read some more of the books on it since then. Links may or may not work, they're not ones I have added (because if I was going to do that I'd try and figure out how to get that amazon associates thing working again :) ) but rather ones that may have been in place on the original postings that I copied from. It's interesting to look back and wonder what I was doing or thinking about over the couple of years that I kept this list. And I don't feel like I'd particularly cross any off today, either - they still all sound interesting.

That's a great booklist you have! I always say, "Oh, I need to look that up", but then forget about it.. think I need to keep a list as well, that way I actually get to read all these books that sound great! lol!
I have read exactly none of these books. But pretty much all of them look really interesting.
