I think it would be cool to have a thread where we list books we’ve read, and as we remember them we can come back and edit our list. We can also help each other figure out the names of books if we just remember the story, and use each others list to help remember. Anyways I’m going to start my own list, I’m sure it will take a while to remember most of them. If you participate you should keep your list in one post, and use other posts for discussion and such.

Hah, yes. My list so far is just what I think of off the top of my head, it is hard to come up with everything on the fly. As for RL Stine and goosebumps, it will be pretty difficult for me to remember which I have read and which I havent, there are so many. In fact It will be near impossible to get every childrens book I ever read, perhaps sometime I’ll get to that.
and thanks for helping me remember a few more!
Wow, I cant even imagine trying to list all of the books I’ve read
Awesome idea though
Dang, just got alot off of the Newberry Medal winners list.
Good luck its hard, im just adding them as I think of them, maybe 1 every couple days.
This could be difficult. Ill try and do a list later, I’ll probably just cheat and look at my bookshelves.
Thats definitely not cheating!

[shit i will never remember]
-i read a bunch of history books on world war 2. i remember reading 30 seconds over tokyo, and battle of britain, but other than that they all kind of blur together.
-random biographies/autobiographies of stupid people
Just looking back at what I’ve already posted (probably 1/5th of everything I’ve read) I really want to shoot myself in the face considering I bought EVERY ONE OF THOSE BOOKS….
Brought it down to one list….I can’t follow instructions….
Oh shit. I forgot the entire Ender saga in my list, damn. Those were some of my favorites too. fuck my memory.
You must have quite a library. I pretty much never buy books unless they hold some special significance to me or I get them for gifts.
I’ve lost, tossed or traded-in quite a few….really don’t even have that many anymore.
wow, working on that list was pretty hard. still have more to add too.
wayyyy too many to remember. In the past couple years, here is what I can remember:

these are mostly since ’04, started keeping the list in mid-’05, incomplete
General Nonfiction * My Losing Season, by Pat Conroy Autobiographies |
reviews:
Uhm, yeah, this would take a long fucking time Just listing the books from the past 3 years would be several pages long
Just post the ones you read sober…that should take much less time.
Good Lord. The books I’ve read in the last 20 years would be a page or more.
i wanna do this list but that is a massive task that will require hours if not days… too lazy..
poor you…
I’m through all the classics/books I’ve read for school…now I gotta start working on a list that I’ve read outside of school
