Sara Nelson's book, So Many Books, So Little Time is one of those books. A few years ago when I worked at the library, a lot of my time was spent straightening and putting away books. I loved it! I mean I was basically spending hours a day looking at books, and when I came across this book I checked it out.
I love lists. I love to make lists and read lists. That may be weird, but it's true. I have lists about everything...books, chores, household projects, movies, vacations I want to take, and I NEVER go to the grocery store without my list.
So Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading by Sara Nelson is basically a reading list in book form, and maybe that's why I liked it.

"In this book, Sara Nelson decides to spend a year reading at least one book a week and writing about what she read. She soon discovers that even though she has a rather extensive list and all kinds of books at her fingertips, it's not always easy to find a book. She learns that you don't always choose a book. Sometimes the very best books choose you. She found that not only her moods, but also her everyday life and environment lead her to the books she reads."
