One member has suggested that I include copyright dates in order to better detect books that may have been read in the past. Many times I have started reading a book and when I get to the middle of the first chapter that feeling of deja vu sets in. By the middle of the second chapter I'm sure that I've read it before. If it's a book that I really liked, I may go ahead and reread it. If not, I feel that I've just wasted my time. So I am including the copyright dates on the chance that it may aid those with hazy memories like mine.
