Literature

(Start building a list of things that you've read, are reading, plan to read. As you read, take notes on what you find interesting and make each title a clickable link to a page about your thoughts and impressions.

Maybe this should not be for general consumption (I don't know...will it look like showing off?) but it is a nice place to organize your thoughts maybe and you can just list highlights and favorites for your public page. Also, people can be very sensitive and politically polarized and may make judgements about certain titles that appear in your list...be aware and/or beware.
