The second list is of all the others I know I have read and starts sort of mid 2007, when I first started recording what I read in a book which is like my book dictionary, and despite technology I still use it all the time. It was around this time I made a decision to review every book I read.

The third list is when I went back through my Amazon profile and is a record of all the books I had read and reviewed on there, it was rather a random selection at this point. I obviously felt compelled to review at these points.
