I read this insane amount of books because I spent the first four months of the year studying abroad. I’m quite the introvert and not all that social so I spent a lot of time in my dorm with my laptop filled with e-books.

Booklist: Intro

Leave a Comment

I’ve decided to post my lists of what I’m reading / have read here to get some content up and to maybe amuse and/or enlighten the 1.2 people and half a horse’s head that are reading this. Also, it can serve as a sort of secondary backup to the one I already have. I started recording the books I had read in December 2003, and forgot about it during September of the following year only to pick it up again in January of 2005. So that’s why this post is dated 2003/2004 and all the ones that follow will cover one year until we’ve reached 2009. I hope to maybe use this part of my online presence to not only record what I read but also comment on and/or review the books as I read them.

A few notes on format.
– I use a simple Author – Title (Series #) [marker] <any other relevant and short comments> format and will append any other information in various brackets after it.

– For Star Trek novels, of which I have read many, is different. I never recorded the author for those so instead will list them as Series – Number (if applicable) – Title cause I don’t feel like looking up the authors for dozens of books I read years ago.
– For Discworld novels, of which I am a huge fan, the numbering differentiates between Discworld and Discworld YA and also doesn’t take into account any special format books (like The Last Hero)

– All titles except those of original Dutch books will be listed in English. For the original Dutch books I will provide a translation of the title in { } after the original title.
– The whitelines in the year lists indicate a new month begins. I used to use sub headings for that but found it got too cluttered as the years pass on . In 2004 there are only 8 bookclots (as I call the little clusters). This because I have May and June as one (I couldn’t remember exactly when I’d read these at the time I wrote it down for the first time) and I stopped listing after September.

[re-read] indicates that I have read the particular book before. Doesn’t matter if it was before or after I started keeping track.
[school] indicates the book was read for study purposes, there won’t be a lot of those on here since I only list the books I finished and many study books are only read partially.
[Dutch] indicates I read the book in Dutch (either original Dutch books or Dutch translations of foreign works). There won’t be a lot of these in the lists starting with 2005*. I am Dutch but tend to read mostly English languaged books both because I prefer to read books in their original languge if I can and most of my favourite authors tend to be those that write in English as well as the simple fact that I prefer English over Dutch.
*halfway through 2004 really but…

Any other markings may appear later on but should be self-explanatory. If I add a lot more markers I might update this post but I’m all for simplicity in this case so mostl likely it will stop at these three.
