The 3K book project is a bit of a self-revelation project. Right now, I'm still on the easy part...kids books. Sure I've touched on spirituality and nonfiction a bit, but those sections are far from done. Yet even in the little bit I've accomplished, there are some titles I cringe as I type, and others I puff out my chest and lift my head with the "see what good taste I have" pride. I swear before I'm done, there will be a section called "I've read these of course!" and another called "Books that need a shredder"....or maybe just "books I'm embarrassed to admit I've read."
Now imagine that instead of just books, it's every single word and action of my own life, on record. I'm so thankful that day is probably far off. I'm also thankful that Jesus is my editor. He's the best white-out ever.
Project 0-3K. What a great reminder that every word matters now.

I guess I don't understand? Are you trying to remember all the books you've ever read? I'm not sure I could remember the ones from last year. Details, please! :)
Pretty much. My friend SF posted about reading. (I linked to her post in the one before this one.) On her comments, one guy said if you read one book a week for your entire life, you would read about 3000 books. It made me curious...thus the list began. You know how I LOVE lists!
I too have a love of lists. And, I am more than a little intrigued by this idea! How would you go about remembering all the books you've read? Are you looking through other lists to trigger your memory? I may be interested in starting my own list, but I must admit that the incompleteness of the list would bother me.
I started with books I have strong memories about, and then looked up the authors and listed the other books I remembered reading by that author. I'm sure the list will be very incomplete, because if I can't remember anything about the book...then I'm not including it. So the maybes are nos.
