A friend is behind the development of Dewey D, a new reading app for the iPhone, but I’m genuinely excited about its promise to help bibliophiles manage their reading lists “in environments where they are most likely to discover new reading material”.
I currently keep track of the books I’ve read and the books I’d like to read the old-fashioned way - with a pen and a Moleskine notebook. I open a new notebook almost every year, and every year, I manually transfer (copy) lists of book-related information from the old notebook to the new one. Friends have begged me to use Excel, but e-book lover I may be, I see it as an opportunity to practise penmanship. I started this practice in 2002, but my enthusiasm for this undertaking began flagging some time around 2008.
It’s perhaps a sign of the times that I find the act of rooting through my bag for my notebook and pen, flipping open the notebook, uncapping the pen, balancing the notebook against the nearest flat surface, hastily jotting down book titles and authors to remember, then putting everything away, increasingly tiresome. Also, I don’t want jittery bookstore sales people to think that I’m stealing copyrighted material off the shelves. I WISH I WERE JOKING.
I just need to get an iPhone. All the tribulations of the modern world will then melt magically away. Right?
