Books of 2007
So someone in the blogosphere posted a list of Books Read in 2007, and I wish I could find it, because that list was far more impressive than mine will be, even though it inspired me to post my own. Anyway, for posterity, here are as many as I can remember of the books I read in 2007, including ones for school, but only those I read in their entirety or at least 75% thereof:

I think there are more, but as I'm away from my bookshelves right now, and have Vacation Brain, this list will have to suffice. I also read a whole bunch of children's books for my summer job, and though they were wonderful, I haven't included them here.
I think that this year it would be nice to post the books I'm currently reading, and archive the ones I've finished, but I'm not sure there's an easy way to do this, and I'm a slacker. Thoughts?

This has given me the final inspiration I needed to put up a list of the movies I watched this year.

Wow, this list puts my sad reading of 2007 to shame. Just one of the reasons I'm glad that year's over.
I have a reading list in my sidebar...I put it into my template code. I don't know if it would work the same with a new blogger template, but I'd be happy to email you how I did it. (PS: I know next to nothing about html...if someone else offers, take them up on it instead.) Also, I think there's an Amazon.com widget thing that gives you the html code to paste into your template and actually puts a picture of the book cover there...I'm not sure though, and I can't remember where I saw that.
