1980-1984 Reading Record Comments | |
---|---|
I read a lot of books while I was in college, and not just text books. I did not start recording the books I read until 1985. The dates listed are usually just a guess as to which quarter I might have read the book. Some books were noted in my journal, so have better dates. It appears a lot of the dates were choosen so the books would group by author! I wrote few comments, so if you want more information about the book, click the title or the book image for links to Amazon. In some cases Amazon does have additional photos of the books, particularly old out of print books, such as these- they have been shared by Amazon's customers.
