I love spreadsheets. I use spreadsheets for everything. When my family moves, I create a spreadsheet for each room, closet, and drawer. I track when I’m going to pack it and how long it’s going to take. I’m an organization freak.

So it seems unlikely that 2008 is the first year that I actually kept track of every single book I read. The number of books I read last year was 176. That averages about three books a week. I probably reviewed about 90% of those books.

I’m beginning my spreadsheet for 2009. So far I only have two books on it.

So do you keep track of what you read? What do you use? Why do you like keeping track?
