The Virtual booklist

Keeping track of some books we've read, or want to read, or have heard about somewhere

The Big Booklist

With a little inspiration from here, I tried to move my booklist online as a datafile. This book list has had many lives : in the back of a notebook, as a text file, a google sheet, a joplin note, a bookwyrm page and probably more that I can’t remember. We’ll see how this lasts. Objects of the exercise:

  • Sort of track book recommendations from papers, online etc.
  • See how many books I read in a year
  • Be able to walk along the library shelf with my book list on my phone and find authors from my list
