So you read multiple books at the same time, too. I usually have at least two or three on the go at once myself, sometimes more, depending on what they are and how they're asking to be read.
I'm not sure why I started a book journal. Mostly for myself - it's foolish vanity to keep an internet journal on the assumption that anyone is going to read what you've written, even though one may hope that they will.
I kept a journal when I was younger, or possibly the closer work is commonplace book, because it wasn't a record so much of what I'd done,but things I'd heard or seen or read and wanted to remember. I think the book journal is somewhat of a similar intention. The books I read, even the fluffy, mind-candy books, affect me and make me think about things, and I want to have a place to collect, and recollect, some of those things.
