In November my personal computer crashed. Efforts to have a repair shop recover the hard drive proved to be futile. It was a minor catastrophe. It probably could have been a blog post on its own. The stand-alone tower contained not only all the lists of the books I have read but also my financial data, personal running stats, everything dealing with my X-C teams for the past four years, baseball stats, tons of documents, tons of pictures, and many more things that I can't recall. It felt like a large part of my life had disappeared. Being an anal being, I live on EXCEL and WORD. So many of my daily activities were in a spreadsheet or a document. And now they were all gone!!
I had to start all over from scratch. For everything. So how did I come up with a list of my 2018 books? Well, at first I hoped that my Library Lending System would be able to provide a list of all the books that I checked out during the year. I was devastated when I found out that there was no internal record for me. And then my anal side kicked in. I remembered that I save every e-mail from the library whether it is to let me know a book has arrived or that I have a book due. The only books that would fall through a crack would be a book that I checked off from the shelves and returned early or a book that I either bought in 2018 or already had on my own shelves. I am pretty sure I accounted for these and overall I am 99.9% sure that the following list represents all the books read for 2018.
As for my starting a new life on a new used PC that the repair shop sold me, I will be backing up the data EVERY week!!!
Here is the list. Enjoy.
