The Neverending Thread saga

Okay, this is one of those blog entries that is coming over from the Multiply page, though it is and always will be a work in progress.  What the Neverending thread is is a list of books that I have read, updated after I have read them.  It is something I have been doing since 2008, and with the books (many if not all can be found on Shelfari to the right) I usually attach a link to a site where the book can be found (usually Amazon) for anyone who would like to get more infor mation about the book, because honestly I am not one who is big into doing book or movie reviews.  I recognize that there are far more skilled people in said professions than myself, so I let them to the heavy lifting.

When I did this idea originally, I did a specific blog entry for each year that I kept track of books, I will not do that here, rather I will just add to the blog entry as needed, so there will be only one entry to bookmark for those who are foolish enough to do so.

Anyway, I guess I could get this started with my 2008 entries and bring it current, though I am reading two different books now, so it will probably be updated a couple more times before this year is out.
