One day I tried...for about ten minutes. I've settled for writing everything I've read since that day.
I'm not going to go back and try to figure it out, though I sometimes take a crack at the "100 best books" type of lists and mark all those that I have read. Starting in 2004, I have been writing down each book as I finish it. I had aspirations of writing a review of each one, but that felt so much like the dreaded "book report" that I now only review the exceptional ones -- either exceptionally good or exceptionally bad.

My lists are online at http://www.elsi123.net/~elsi/reading/

I average something around 130 books each year.
