What have you been reading today?

Everything counts, from a novel-length fic to the labels on your washing.

When I realized I had 60 tabs open, I set about bookmarking and closing them, which meant skimming many of them for pull-quotes. Later, I'll read more Jane Eyre.

60 tabs!

I often treat my recent browsing history like bookmarks, especially when I've opened thing sin tabs but didn't get around to finishing.

Heh. 60 tabs is nothing much, for me. I think my personal record is 500-something. Took me more than a day to bookmark and close them all. I have this habit of opening anything that looks interesting with the intention of reading it promptly. I open tab groups for each general topic and stash them there and that's when "out of sight, out of mind" kicks in and the total gets out of hand. Learned my lesson recently when I had a hard drive failure and lost 379 tabs - poof! - all that interesting stuff lost to me - so I have resolved to do better about getting things bookmarked promptly.
