I wish I were disciplined enough to keep a record of what I've read. I did when I was a kid... I was 'a regular' at the local public library and needed to log my reading so I didn't take out a book I'd already read! But the habit wore off as I became an adult. Now, of course, such a record would have been more than just a list of books and more about where I was when I read a certain book, who I was with, what my interests were at the time... reading has become such an important part of my life.
I've only been doing it for about seven years but it's fascinating looking back. A friend of mine my age has kept hers going all through her life, though she hasn't kept her thoughts about them at the time I think.

It's like keeping a diary, or a journal, only more literary!
