And we don't even want to talk about all of the many books I re-read. I noticed that I had trouble remembering books I had read and movies I had seen, so I borrowed a friend's idea and started minimalist book and movie logs. Minimalist means title & author for books, directory & year & title & source (TV, DVD, theater) for movies, plus the year & month I read/saw them. The idea is that recording more information, such as a synopsis or review or rating, would make it too much work and I'd give up maintenance. It's been interesting. I read SF almost exclusively, where SF = speculative fiction, which includes science fiction, fantasy, horror, and maybe some alternate / secret history. Within SF, I thought that I read mostly science fiction. Well, that might be true over my lifetime, but to my surprise, for the last few years, when I have been keeping a booklog, I've read and reread more fantasy than science fiction. - tky
