I've been busy working on the "What I'm Reading" section of my site. I just added a link to view all the books I've read. I've only entered my four most recent books so far, but I'm planning to go back and enter older ones soon.

Currently, I enter a book's ISBN number into my system and the book's info and cover image are retrieved using Amazon's excellent web service API. My system stores the ISBN number, title, author, number of pages, the date I started the book, and the date I finished the book, but I'm planning to add a spot for ratings and comments, too. Ultimately, I'd like to be able to compute some statistics and maybe even generate a graph for how much reading I've been doing.

More posts will follow as I complete more features, but now it's time for bed. The only problem with working on my book tracking system until midnight is that now I don't have any time left to actually do any reading! :)
