Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.

Oh, DUH. I conflated sarameg and meara. Sorry. I shouldn't be posting when I'm sleepy and half watching Lost.

I'll take a look at your library, meara!

AmyLiz, THANKS for outing my uh--what? list of authors. Sheesh. (No harm, no foul. It's just funny.)

I have some Stuart, I think.


meara - Mar 21, 2007 5:09:25 pm PDT #2324 of 28175

Heh. I kinda figured.

AmyLiz, if you see anything you want in particular, email me a list (profile addy is fine--mearagirl, yahoo) and I'll toss together a box of those and other assorted...let you knwo if you should return any of them.

Ooof. The (first) bookcase o' vampires is entered, but not tagged. Except for those things I had to enter by hand because neither amazon.com or the Library of Congress thought they exisited.

I keep thinking about getting into Librarything, and then I think, oh yeah, that's kind of like work, and then I don't, and then it makes me kind of sad, because it's BOOKS, and then I remember the work thing again.

This is my problem, although I did create an account. It's a bit of a giggle to see all the non-librarians so excited about cataloging.

It's a bit of a giggle to see all the non-librarians so excited about cataloging.

Heh. Totally. I started my account last winter, but I didn't enter more than about a dozen books before I got swamped with homework... for my Cataloging class. Although I don't actually get to do any cataloging in my current job, so now I'm getting excited again about doing it for my own collection.

Someone asked me why I would even want to catalog all of my books at LibraryThing, and my kneejerk reaction was, "I'm sorry, I don't understand your question."

mr. flea mocked me roundly for loving Librarything. I pointed out he enjoyed computer programming. He pointed out that someone who enjoyed computer programming created Librarything. I pointed out that someone who enjoyed computer programming AND geeking out about books created Librarything.

Then we were at an impasse.

I thought I'd lose interest in Librarything once I had everything entered--not that I do, yet--but I keep finding myself sorting things and rearranging things and checking to see who has what I do. It's like furniture arranging without the heavy lifting.

Exactly. I'm still under 80 books, but I keep wanting to add more tags, and make sure the covers are all correct, and add reviews or remarks. It's fun! It's endless!
