oh ) it just seemed unusual to me ) nothing else )Tora wrote:In my opinion the idea of summing up the number of books you read in a year time is not so preposterous as it seems to you. there is no use to emphasize that you're a reading and intelligent person - I was sure in it 8)
but I guess it's very easy, I do remember the books I read and the plot and the characters, so why not to count the books?
so how many books did you read so far starting in 2007? :D

I've been in the States since 2001; I was born and grew up in Ukraine. I miss my lovely country :(mrLenin wrote:So how do you know Ukrainian? Any relatives?Cypress wrote:For the past three years I’ve been writing down the titles and authors of all the books I’ve read. I don’t know why I do it. I guess as a statistics student, I just like keeping truck of everything
So, this year I’ve read eight books in English, four in Russian, and one in Ukrainian. Thirteen in total.

I used to do the same (writing down the name of the book and the title), but now I go even farther… In addition to that, I write whether I liked or disliked the book, what impressed me the most about it and so on. Occasionally, I even make little sketches for the book (seldom though as I am not very good at sketching).

Cypress, you amaze me, like always. You could post your scetches here, I remember several times in "What's the latest book you have read recently" you did a small description of the book
Well that's an excellent idea! I will do that from now on. Thanks, Cypress! :DCypress wrote: I used to do the same (writing down the name of the book and the title), but now I go even farther… In addition to that, I write whether I liked or disliked the book, what impressed me the most about it and so on.
