At any rate, I'm giving you the rundown of the books I read this year, in the order in which I read them (although I'll spare you the dates I read them).

Instead of posting all the movies I saw, I'm just gonna post the ones I thought were the best. And also, these are ones that I saw for the first time, I'm not bothering with ones I saw before. And I'll post them in the order I saw them.
Angels In America
Gunner Palace
Kill Bill Volume 1
V For Vendetta
Good Night and Good Luck
Superman Returns
Clerks II
The Aviator
Transamerica
Walk the Line
And the biggest disappointments in movies I saw this past year again in the order in which i saw them: (Not that these were the worst movies, just those that didn't meet the expectations I had for them).
Kill Bill Volume 2
X3
Thumbsucker
The Forgotten
The Boys Choir
I'm not aware of anything that I'm really looking forward to this year, but I'm sure they'll be good and bad again.

I paid 290 pounds on a bashed-up old Mercedes. It was so cheap because it was so old. I like cars that you can leave anywhere. - Alex Kapanos of Franz Ferdinand

Very interesting list. In my case, I keep a database of electronic parts that I have. Then when I put something together I can query it to see if I have to make a trip to Radio Shack, Dandreta, or one of the other electronics stores in the area.
Over the years I've read hundreds of books. Never had the thought to catalog them though. But a friend did introduce me to a method that I do like.
He was telling me that both he and his dad used to jot the dates they'd finished reading books inside the back cover. They did this because books are like old friends. It's so true so I've been doing that for a while.
Because occasionally, years down the road I may want to re-read the book. I can tell you one book that I'll never re-read is Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged". It was disgusting enough the first time around.
That's a really cool list, and a very interesting way to keep track of what you did. I also like TruthSpew's idea of writing the completion date in the back of each book. Might might do both.
