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.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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."

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.

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!

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.

Last night, I refused to go to bed until I'd broken 300, but I didn't want to get *out* of bed to grab more books.
Oy.
So I just added the US Harry Potter editions I'd been holding off on adding to push me over the top. I suppose I'll add the British editions later.

Yeah, I just added tags to most of mine, but I need to add more, and subclassify, and then I kinda want to use it to figure out what books I'm MISSING (like, do I have books 3, 4, and 7 of a series?), and then to organize my books on the shelves, and and and...
