What a great concept! I'm sure I will never complete the list, but it should be fun to see where I gravitate. Also, it will push me to read more widely. I'm starting from today, as I'm too lazy to incorporate my past books...

Welcome to the group! Bold move to start from scratch.

823 I was disappointed by The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. **
For future reference:
* = I hated it, it's a wonder I bothered to finish the book.
** = Did not like it.
*** = It was ok, fine, I kind of liked it.
**** = I really liked it.
***** = Life changing. Truly amazing.

Dewey 155
The Introvert Advantage ****
I really enjoyed most of this book. Introversion is not something to be corrected, it's just a different temperament. It has a different set of advantages and disadvantages than extroversion. Just this realization is enough for me to gain a greater acceptance of myself, and that is a beautiful thing.
I think this book is a keeper, and I will refer to it in the future.

Dewey # 811 - American Literature, Poetry
Howl and Other Poems *
I wanted to like this, but alas, it was above me. I had to make myself finish it, luckily it's a short book. I wish I had a better understanding of literature and poetry so that I can appreciate works like this.

lol, I've got Ginsberg's complete collection sitting on my shelf, and I really enjoy it. But it's still probably going to take me most of my life to get through it. It's huge.

Dewey # 320 - Political Science
The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism by Andrew J. Bacevich ***1/2
Another book that explains and warns about American Imperialism. Parts are a bit dated now, but the overall theme is very important for the present and foreseeable future.
