OT: Book Queue

Awhile back Adam listed a book list of things he was going to read, and if I remember correctly it was online.  Does anyone remember this, or Adam, as I was going to put some things online.  Everytime I hear about a book recommendation I try and write it down, but I will always lose the majority of these names.  I would like to have something online similar to Blockbuster, except with books.

Also, definitely open to any real good books.  Trying to get back into reading a bit more.  It seems to be cheaper for me than online poker!

are talking
about something like paperbackswap.com? I've never used it, but I have heard good things about it.

The odd thing is I was thinking about compiling a list of recommendations for both baseball and other topics earlier today.

No
just hit that site.  More of somewhere that I can "store" the list.  I guess I just could create a spreadsheet, but would rather have something that says if you like this book you might like this and this (like Amazon), and maybe tell me a little something about the books.  Kind of like a catalog of books.  Hell I dunno.  Now I am confusing myself.

Not sure if you're interested in them or not, but here are two previous discussions of good baseball books...

Book recommendations
"POSTWAR: A History of Europe Since 1945" by Tony Judt

It's a little long but absolutely engrossing.  

Also

"The Rasputin FIle" by Edvard Radzinsky

A really creepy book about a really creepy man.

That's
the first time I've seen that sight. I'll have to start building up my library on there. My SN is BHill if anyone is interested.

Have they made Dirty Dancing

I await it with baited breath...
