This is my first blog post, not sure how to work the symbols above so until then I will be keeping it short and simple.
Sometimes I have the urge to review the books I have; as a child I would act like a librarian and reorganize my books, writing a list of all of them in order to 'check out' and read one of them for the nth time.
So now I am 25, finished with a B.S. in Biology and History and I am going back over the books that I grew up reading through high school and college.
I love my goodreads account, it's quite interesting to look back on the books that I had to take notes of and study during my education.
As I have matured, I believe that these books I read 6-10 years ago will mean a lot more to me than when I first read them.
Thus, I am on a mission to go through them, sort them into piles of what to reread, what I haven't read yet, and what I have read that is an all-time favorite.
Ex: Stieg Larsson's series with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I explicitly remember reading that book, the way I was positioned in bed, the weather outside...everything. Those are the memories I look to form when I read a novel.
I believe I am similar to many people in the respect that I own a lot of books that I haven't read. I've tried to read it, I've seen it on lists of "must-read" books and I feel like I am missing out.
My strategy will be to read this book with the help of notes online or the discussions brought on by other readers.
I want to be able to accumulate knowledge from the Classics.
Signing off,
