(Bryan) am an avid reader and am always in the midst of reading something. The list of books I want to read is endless. I usually find out about interesting books through newspaper/magazine/online reviews or through Amazon.com's "if you liked that, then you might like this" links.

In the summer of 2004, I decided to start keeping a list of books I've read so that over time, I can look back and remember them all. Also for the sake of jogging my memory, I keep a list of books I'm planning to read in the near future.
