The Fabulous Book-A-Day Index!

I tend to think of myself as a smart guy, but I often overlook the obvious. Thanks are due to Øystein, who suggested this index in a recent comment. This will get updated, for as long as I keep up the book-a-day pace, but I'll leave the date the same, so it doesn't keep popping to the top of LiveJournal and things like that.

This may also become somewhat nicer-looking, with actual numbers and dates but, for now, it's just going to be a links dump for the Book-A-Day posts, and I'll start linking to it from future posts.

So, without further ado, here is the Fabulous Book-A-Day Index!
