When I worked at UHD, I was in charge of of Spanish materials selection to support curriculum and for recreational needs. From those orders, there were books I wanted to read, but I did not have the time to do so at the moment. So I had a running list kept on scraps of paper, notepads, so on. I am now listing them here to share as well as for redundancy.
- Hector Abad, Angosta
- Juan Abreu, Garbageland
- Juan Abreu, Orlan Veinticinco
- Hector Aguilar Camin, La Conspiracion de la Fortuna
- Marco Tulio Aguilera, Cuentos para despues de hacer el amor
- Francesca Aliern Pons, et.al., Otras voces

- Juan Aparicio Belmonte, Lopez Lopez
- Fernando Aramburu, Los peces de la amargura

I have been formally blogging my annual reading lists since 2006. I do keep continuous track of what I read on my journal and via the GoodReads profile I maintain (see my list of Social Networks and Sites for the link).

These are the social networking places and social sites where I have a profile. I use some more than others. This list is to help me see where exactly I am and where I have been when it comes to my online presence. Plus it can give my visitors an idea of where else I may be found.

- My Facebook page. I use this one quite a bit, especially at work because I also maintain the UT Tyler Robert R. Muntz Library's Facebook page.
- I have a MySpace page.
- I decided to give Digg a try, so I do have a profile there now.
- I do have some online photos on Flickr here.
- Learn about my reading and books at GoodReads here.

I have been compiling a small series in my scratch pad blog entitled "Items about books I want to read." These are basically roundups of books I would like to read sometime with links to blog posts and other sources with information about the books. If you want to learn more about what I like to read, looking over these posts would be a good idea.
