So I took a week away from my day job, and got many home projects that have piled up completed. One of them was to go through my personal library, of which I have five "branches." I have my physical books, ebooks scattered over three apps (iBooks, Amazon Kindle and Blink), plus a collection of PDF books.
I am trying to be somewhat comprehensive and consistent with what information I list for every book. I have already updated the library a lot, and I have still a long way to go. Another thing that really angers me is I found a second electronic book that has "gone missing." The first was Cardiac Arrest, which I wrote this review for, the second is Dave Grossman's On Killing, which I was in the process of reading. I stopped reading it not too long ago, and when I came back to it, poof. No record of purchase in either app. Probably no refund of my money either.
The result of this is, I am making sure I have DTF (Dead Tree Format, paper) copies of important books, especially those I would like to read if/when society collapses. Losing Cardiac Arrest didn't phase me, On Killing did. So On Killing and several other books will be on my doorstep tomorrow.
I am also writing a review on another book, one that I couldn't finish, it was so heartbreaking. I got through a quarter of it and had to stop. The lessons in that quarter must never be ignored again. You'll see.
