Christopher Swingley's Book Pages

icelander

These pages explore my literary interests:

Recently read or acquired books -- Mostly this is just a way for me to see what books I've read and to exercise my MySQL collection database.
Month by month view of the books I've read this year.
Top 10 lists -- A really old list of some of my favorite books in various categories. Sometime I'll update this.
Software -- I use Bookpedia as my main collection manager, but since it's closed source, I wrote a Python script to convert Bookpedia export files into a MySQL database. This page shows how it's done.

The book on the right is Dustin Long's Icelander, which I reviewed on my blog.
