OCD and reading lists

When I was younger my OCD was worst than it is now. I'm not really sure if it would even be clinically classified as an obsessive-compulsive disorder. But I had ticks, such as having to flip through every single channel on the television before settling on the one channel I wanted to watch "The Simpsons" on, or touching every corner of the sofa so as not to favor a single spot. Weird, right?

Nowadays, however, the vestiges of my obsessions has been confined to creating lists. I make them for everything. List of my favorite books, list of book recommendations (which I'm going to compose and post on the blog every day), list of books I own in my library (color-coded to differentiate between having read them), and even lists of books I've read in the course of a year.

I thought I'd post one of those lists here. This is the list of books I've read in 2010, the first list I ever created, and its divided into graphic novels and novels, which is a distinction I've kept in tact. I think 2010 is the first year where I really started reading as much as I could. I think before then, I'd be lucky to finish five or six books in a year. I like opening these old documents and remembering the times and places I spent reading each one. There's some fond memories there. Because of some formatting errors, the numbering went foul, but final count for 2010 is 75 books.
