I've read ~1,000 books in the last 15 years: business books, biographies, novels, you name it.

During that time, I've tracked every book I've read. The process has been tedious but well worth the time. It's fun to look over the list and reminisce about what I've learned from each of these books.

If you don't track your personal reading list, I encourage you to start now! Here's mine...
