Of course, this article is worth it just for the author's solution to his common problem of "I can't remember when the hell I read this book or what was in it" with an ingenious technique -- he puts a Post-It on the book saying "2003/04." But if you stopped reading in a rush to put Post-It notes on all of your books before you forget about them, click back quick -- the best is yet to come! Have you ever thought, "I want to put all my books in numerical order," but the books don't have readily accessible numbers on them? Just rank them all from 1-10 and mark it on the spine! Nothing could be easier! I'll have to give these techniques a shot. They sure sound a lot easier than actually fucking thinking about the book as I read it, which I have been naïvely wasting a great deal of my time on.
