One of my favorite pass time for last 3 years is to watch a movie and simultaneously scan books I got from the library. Over the past 3 years I have acquired many books through inter library loan and book fairs and stores.I haven’t read most of the books. So I cant recommend some of the books. So I decided to put up list of books I have in new page and distinguish it from my recommended books.
