More book talk about my mom
April 20
When I was first becoming a "reader." I noticed that mom would record the title, author and date completed of the books she read in an old-style composition notebook. This was back in the 1970s. This inspried me to begin keeping a reading log too -- I never read as fast as mom, so my notebook filled far more slowly. When I got my first computer in the early 1980s, I transcribed the notebook into a database. That digital record has stuck with me for the past 40-plus years, traveling from one computer to another. Yet one more effect on my life from mom.
