Nobody else gonna join this year?

I don't want to discourage you or anyone else, but . . .?! I already have a way to keep track of the books I read.

I really never had, until I started this thread last year.  That's why I try to keep it near the top.

You know, I was actually keeping track of all the books I'd read this year.. I'll have to dig up my notebook.  However, I don't think it'll get too many new entries for awhile, as I've noticed since we've got the Internet in the house, I haven't spent too much time reading or watching TV of late.

Looks like I read 58 books last year.
However,  of those, 19 were cartoon anthologies, so only 39 "real" books.
I need to up this total for next year.

Just realized, hey, you're a Foxtrot fan!  I love that series!  Jason reminds me so much of myself as a young boy (expect for the whole "liking/being good at school" thing.
