Long before I knew anything about social media I loved books. I am also a list maker. Although I used to have a better than average memory (did really well on trivial pursuit), my memory is fading and in truth was never able to recall enough details of what I had read.
I have used written lists and even made notes of mostly non ficton books and have written mini reviews on a blog, newsletter and through the Hamilton Public Library. The Hamilton Public Library has a feature on individual accounts that records what they call "Recently Returned items" which I referred to while doing this assignment. It also records DVD, CD, etc. You are encouraged to rate library material and write reviews.
Each book (or other library item) taught me something. Sometimes they build on one another, other times they clash meaning you have to re-sort your ideas on a topic. Sometimes you need to understand why people see things differently from yourself or see something you don't see.
Yes, I plan to build on this tool and understand it better. I don't have time to read all the books that interest me
I interpreted your instructions that you wanted a link to my "catalogue" rather than to my profile and so here it is: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/johnfdavidson20
