Why didn't I ...

............. think about keeping a list of the books I have read - 4 out of the last 5 books I have borrowed from the library I have already read. It wasnt until I started reading them I had that funny feeling it all seemed rather familiar

Perhaps it's time that you started a reading blog / list on the forum.

 

It is so frustrating to be drawn to a book, only to realise that you already have it or have read it. *

 

 

*Sadly, this only gets worse with age.

I have started keeping a note of the books I have read with a short set of notes about what happened to jog my memory! I have read so many books but yet remember very little detail in them! Do others have the same problem and if so what have people done to overcome this problem?

That's why I started keeping a list when I joined this forum - I had borrowed a library book and realised halfway through that I'd read it before and not thought much of it. Didn't think any better of it second time round either - LOL!

have started a list now - better late than never

 

I usually read adventure/spy/crime type books but have never read any Stephen King so I am going to try some of his so what are the ones I should start with?

We have a whole thread dedicated to him,,,,,,,here Have a look though that and see which title grabs your attention. I cannot recommend any myself, as I am yet to read any of his work.

after reading that thread I have just ordered The Stand - all 1344 pages

Strangely enough, that's the Stephen King novel I have on my To Be Read shelves.....one day I'll get to read it. Happy Reading gt!
