Begin at the beginning, go to the end and stop

I've created this blog to track the books I read during 2008. I tried to do this in 2007, so I could prove that I read more than Stacy, but I lost track about mid-way through the year. I was also told that keeping a list in Excel meant that I could lie about the number of books I read. Now, I could still lie about what books I've read, but now it will be a public lie. So watch out, in '08 I will read more than Stacy.
