Jeremy! You have already read that book!

I have read thousands of books. I own thousands of books (and I need to someday enter them all into a database). For many years, I have been keeping detailed notes from each book; basically, I write down page numbers and keywords on a bookmark and then when I am finished I look back through the book and write down some detailed notes that I want to remember. At this time, I have a few hundred pages of hand-written notes from books ranging from coaching basketball, sports psychology, marketing, newsletter publishing, Unix administration and more.

This list will help me keep track. This is a far-from-complete list of books I have read the past few years.

This list is way incomplete ...

Most of my learning is self-taught, through years of constant study and reading. I took a ton of notes from a lot of these books. Most are just the same stories and ideas. And it all seems to be blurring together! I made this list so I could keep track; and it is far from complete. I probably only kept track of about 75 percent -- they had at least a couple good ideas!
