ValueOptions just asked me to apply for a permanent position! In the words of my supervisor "the position is yours to lose."

Yay!!!!!!!!

It bases its suggestions on everything you have listed, so if you're worried about 1 book twisting it in a direction you don't really like than just wait to add that one until you already have a couple dozen that are more typical of you.

I love browsing too, but when I do that I tend to end up reading the same books over and over again. LibraryThing is a really good way for me to find new stuff.

A couple years ago I got 112 books for $7 at a library sale, so I've been really good about not rereading. Now I wouldn't say I've read those 112 books, but because I feel guilty about not reading at least half of them, I've been good about getting new books. "But this one looks good! I can put aside Erdrich and Highsmith for a while! It's not like I'm REREADING or anything."

I kept track of what I read last year, and occasionally threw in a comment if the book was good, bad, or something else. If you want to check it out, it's here:
