Meryl's Notes Blog

After I read The Little Book to Your Well-Read Life, I found the book’s companion Web site and it has great articles and tools for book lovers. The book inspired me so much that I expanded on my original reading list. The list simply lists the books I’ve read and when. But as soon as I finished the book, I went to work on the list to include notes like how I liked it or how I found out about the book.

I went nuts over the weekend and posted a bunch of book reviews as well as my reading list. I hope you find a couple of gems in there and avoid the ones I didn’t like. The Well-Read Life Web site has the book’s author’s column, questions he poses to readers, and shares the reading habits of popular authors such as Malcolm Gladwell.

The current question, “Do you lend or give your books?” I need to stop loaning my books. I loaned one that had a letter from the author in the book. Never got it back. I remember loaning a Judy Blume book and never got that back either. Actually, it depends on the person and the book. One incident was during middle school and the other during college. I haven’t had this happen again since then.

Update: Thanks to Edward… I put down the wrong file name to my books read list. “Uh oh,” as my youngest would say.
