Books, books, books

So I had this (what I thought was) a brilliant idea: make a list of all the books I've ever read, starting from the age I actually began reading novels. Now I figured this would be a hugely daunting task, because a) it's been a frickin' while, and although my memory is good I didn't know if it was that good, and b) because I read SO much when I was in junior high/high school, I figured just the quantity of books would be tons.

Turns out that my memory is possibly far better than I expected because I have pretty much remembered the different authors, and when I discovered them. Problem is I'm only coming up with just over 100 books, which seems wrong. So either I'm actually forgetting huge chunks of my book reading past, and just think I'm not, or else I've really only ever read 100 books. It might actually be the latter, because I am a horrible re-reader. My favorite books/series, I'm guaranteed to have read at least twice, but I know there are series on my list that I've read at least 5 times.

I shall try and rack my brain some more today (probably while at work) to come up with more. Then of course, there will be a list later. ;)

Oh, and on another note: I need to start working on the next chapter of Summer Nights, like a week ago. Seriously. It's at the top of my to do list this weekend.
