Personal Reading Log: 100 Books You Won't Forget

The Personal Reading Log (it used to be called the Lifetime Reading List) is a simple, compact booklet that can help students establish a habit of creating a lifelong reading log. If you've ever wanted to revisit a book you've read, but can't remember what it was, you need to keep a reading list!

Through a lifetime of reading, I found that it was impossible to keep track of my books without writing down what I read, but it was a hard habit to establish until I stopped trying to find time for detailed book journal entires and settled on an organized, short and sweet format. Having just enough space for essential information plus about three sentences of commentary or review made the record-keeping process feel manageable. And when things feel manageable, they stand a chance of getting done!

“I consider as lovers of books not those who keep their books hidden in their store-chests and never handle them,
but those who, by nightly as well as daily use thumb them, batter them, wear them out, who fill out all the margins with annotations of many kinds,
and who prefer the marks of a fault they have erased to a neat copy full of faults.”
Letter to an unidentified friend (1489), as translated in Collected Works of Erasmus (1974), p. 114
