Your Books

[Malice]

Do you have a list of your books?

I do know...

For so many years, I would purchase a few books, and read 2 out of 3 or so, then never remember if I read them...
I posted my books online this way I have a running list of my books as I read them (I have a few)

How do you keep track of your books?

 

[Immortalfire]

On a shelf.

 

[Iceman]

I've kept every book I've read since I was about 20 in shelves around the house (that's a lot of shelves). Apart form that and memory I don't keep any other record. I'm quite selective about which books I read now due to more constraints on time.

On a shelf.

I never have that problem, I read everything I buy or borrow.
Also I'm one of those people that if I read it once, I remember it. I hardly ever re-read a book unless I really enjoy it.

I can understand...I am re-reading all the books in my book database...
Not very far...but have read about 26 books in about 4 months.

I've only read one book twice, the collected writings of kevin smith: silent bob speaks. It was hilarious

 

[Riven]

I used to have a list of all the books I own, it's something I typed up when I was extremely bored in the middle of the night and the internet was down.

Haven't updated it for some years now, but at last count I had something around 350 books, most of which I've read by now.

 

[Leto Atrides]

I usually just buy 2 or 3 books at a tie, so I read them as I get them.

But as far as novels go, I store them away once I read them. So I only ever have a few laying around, and I either haven't read them or want to reread them.

 

[Alpha and Omega]

Yes. I've kept all of them for the most part. They're either in storage, tucked away in my closet, or the 'encore reads' are on my desk shelf.

 

[tzarinna]

I've not been very good to my books,except the Clive Barker ones that have been signed and my Anniversary Spidey comics
I like re-reading books and once I get settled in a new home I will have a better system.There are some I haven't gotten to. I have one sociology book that just pisses me off and I can never get through it

 

[Riven]

I generally don't re-read novels, not out of principle, but cause I don't have the time. If I really liked it, I'll re-read it though. My favorite books I've probably read about three times each... There's one book that I read as a child that I've read dozens of times, just cause it holds such happy memories for me, when I re-read it.

I find that if you read a novel twice, you learn something more... Not just about the novel, also about yourself, especially when there's a significant amount of time between readings.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I had a huge collection of Goosebumps but got rid of 'em when we moved. The ones I have now are on a shelf in my room.

-Potter 1-6
-Pride and Prejudice
-A Farewell to Arms
-Peter Pan
-Lord of the Flies
-The Odyssey
-War of the Worlds

If we're talking fiction.

Once i've read a book and lent it out, I take it to a charity shop. Unless it's a hardback or i've had it signed. I never reread books as some many more new books exist to read. This is not true of comics which I do keep and I do reread.

I myself dont even own that many books, seeing as my parents have boxes and boxes full of them. The only ones I actually own are American Psycho, Rules Of Attraction, Bruce Campbell's 2 books, the Halo books, the first Doom book, and the first Resident Evil book, which I keep on my beds headboard shelf thing.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

I read mostly true crime or weird trivia books. i also like books about various tv shows

 

[tzarinna]

There's one book that I read as a child that I've read dozens of times, just cause it holds such happy memories for me, when I re-read it.

Which book is that?

I don't know what has become of all my childhood books,but I found one I enjoyed "Wednesday Witch" on amazon. I haven't reread it yet. But I'm glad I bought it seems really hard to find.

[Carter]

I keep my books in my bookcase. The only book I remember reading twice is American Psycho.

I probably average 2 books a month. But these Bourne books are killer.

edit:
I read Jurassic Park and Along Came A Spider twice.

 

[kypade]

i have 10 or so books sitting in a box somewhere...had to pack em up to get the carpet changed. othernat, no lists, unless the library keeps track of that crap.

 

[Riven]

Which book is that?

I don't think you'd know it, since it's in Dutch. It's called "The Adventures of Bill Clifford" and it's a sardonic Sherlock Holmes parody from the forties. I loved it reading it as a kid and I still do!

 

[Mee]

Shelves, boxes, no lists.

 

[NJGooner]

There's a website - librarything.com, where you can catalog your books and talk to people that've read the same books, etc. I've only added books that are currently on my bookshelf in my catalog http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=pazzesco

 

[Spark]

edit:
I read Jurassic Park and Along Came A Spider twice.

Ditto on the Jurassic Park book. I wouldn't normally re-read them as a rule but seeing as I'm really selective (or dismissive ) I tend to like them enough to read them 2 or 3 times.

Although the list thing is something I'd do anyway because I'm kinda geeky like that. Membership here being proof.

 

[Warhammer]

I have a couple of good books, but they are in my desk, somewhere.

 

[webhead731]

I remember every book I read. I haven't read one twice yet. I usually re-read my favorite parts.
