procrastinating on the book

I often refer to my to-read list as if it were an actual, coherent thing that exists in some form other than titles scribbled on the backs of envelopes and author's names dashed off on bookstore receipts, but doing so presents an inaccurate picture of the situation. I have a notebook where I list all the books I read, and the front of that notebook is stuffed with all the scraps of paper on which I've jotted down various book recommendations over the years. I also have a list on my office computer for book ideas that come to me at work. And a separate list in the notebook where I keep notes for my novel. My system is a little bit complicated, and isn't actually much of a system at all. So I thought I'd consolidate things here.

And now I'm off to do some writing.
