Lists of Bests: adapenguina's "Books...libros...ksiazki" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/54298 I'm just trying to keep track of books I read and books I would like to read. Its my new year's resolution to read a book a week (something I have tried and failed to do in the past). I am a slow reader, I do not skim, and I have trouble giving up on a book when it fails to captivate me in the first few chapters (ahem, "Cold Mountain"), which often leads me discouraged and I lapse in my goal. This year I'm going strong. This website is quite limited, so "worth consuming" means just that, I recommend this book. If I haven't chosen an option it means "in between", not bad but not spectacular, just ok. "Not worth consuming" is self-explanatory and these books have wasted my time. The #1 position means book most recently "consumed". And if it doesn't have a check mark next to it it means its still on the wish list. Oh yeah, and being an uber nerd I compiled this list rather meticiously and chronologically (for the last few years). It contains all the books I have ever read!
