Books I've Actually Finished Reading

I had aspirations to write reviews of the books I read, once I finish them, but I've fallen horribly in arrears. The prospect now overwhelms me. Yet, since this blog of daily living is partly my own record of just what it is that I do with my days, it's also a place where I want to keep track of what I've read, if only for myself. So first I have moved the "completed, book report pending" books off the side bar of my main page, and now I have to figure out how to format this Page so it looks nice and I can comment (not review) about the books I've read.

A book most recently completed is entered at the top of this list.

Truth be told, I didn't finish reading this. I acquired it to see whether I wanted to read these books, but it is truly targeted at educators. I don't think I want to read the books, but if you do and if you want to discuss what's in them with others, this is a very thorough guide.

With the big popularity of the books in this series and movies coming out, I read it to see whether I'd be tempted. I wasn't. I doubt I'll go on.
