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.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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."

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.

Because books.

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!

Art Crawl!!!
Okay, I've started adding some limited tags to my books. I've also been going and looking at the collections of people who share the least shared books with me.
Man, people have collections of most serious books. My collection is not at all serious. This is probably why I felt that he covers was the most important aspect of the process.
