The Human Scanner

A big thanks to Jess for inviting me to Good Reads!! The site looks cool, but the main reason I am glad is that I found a new site to leech all of my book images from! My Media Lookup program hasn't worked for books for a while because Barnes and Noble changed their webpage layout! I've been unable to find a new site with perfect sized book images until now!!

So with a quick update to Media Lookup, I was able to run the program to create entries for all of the books I've read since August of last year. Then I decided to break up my book archive pages by years... And that's when I realized that 2007 was my bookiest year ever! I read 33 books last year?!? That's an average of one book every 11 days... for the whole freaking year!

Thanks to my prodigious year of reading, I knocked 14 books off the Hugo & Nebula award winning books list. Reading books from this list turned out to be a fantastic idea. Most of the books have been great, I have found more authors that I enjoy reading, and I've read a number of classic sci-fi books.

Sadly 2008 won't be as book filled as 2007. My coursework is making it very difficult to finish reading the excellent 'A Deepness in the Sky.' After I finish it, I'll probably not even try to start another book until winter break...
