The editor of the New York Times Book Review keeps a book listing the books she's read since she was 16. She watches the trajectory of her life through her books and how they've influenced her life, from high school to college to traveling the world to getting married to having kids. Because books have a special power. They change you. They make you better and smarter and more empathetic (usually).

I love this book so much.

And, of course, I bought a nice notebook for myself to start keeping my own book of books.
