Tietoja minusta Avid Reader. Favorite reads are historical fiction, sf/f, history, science.

Love cats, chocolate, Scuba Diving, Travel and the New England Patriots - not necessarily in that order.

Tietoja kirjastostani I joined LibraryThing in July '06. Since then I have been adding only the new books I buy, and the older books that I read. I have over 5,000 books cataloged on an Access Data Base, and having to put tags on them all is a daunting task. I may do it at some point.

I have been cataloging my books on Access since about 2001. Besides my own books I have the books of both my parents (deceased) in my library. I grew up with a library in the house, though my parents didn't catalog theirs.

Update 2007: I have started to add my book catalog to my on-Line account. I am adding them a letter at a time (author's last name). I am up to "P" as of the end of July. I still add the new books I buy, but am working my way slowly through my older books.

Update: 2008: Still adding the old books. So far I am up to the letter "T", so I should finish soon if keep at it, and don't have anymore printer/internet problems. Now if only they would fit in my house as easily as they fit on these pages :)

April 2008: I have finally uploaded all the books in my library (except for my un-cataloged box; kept because of my irrational fear that something bad will happen if I am ever completely done.)

Now I am working on getting everything spiffy. Love the series function. Still not ready to start the tagging project.

Thanks, i have been looking at other entries and have figured it out (I used to do a lot of these gawdawful forms for various newspapers ...etc while at the Toad. Not sure I want to go in and redo them all at the moment.

btw, Readercon is in danger of selling out (apparently). If you don't already have a membership I think you can still get one online until midnight tonight (though not sure). Otherwise, if Saturday is the day you are coming you may want to come early to get in line. Best, Lois

FicusFan, based on your recommendations, I suggest the Tiptree Award anthologies for science fiction and fantasy exploring gender.

FicusFan, I found your library because we both have Marge Piercy and Lois McMaster Bujold as favorite authors. ((He, She and It is one of my all-time favorite books.) If you have have any suggestions of other authors or books that I might like, I'd be most grateful to hear them. (I realize one suggestion would be Octavia Butler, who I see is already one of your favorites, but I've already read all of her books.)

If this request is an imposition, please disregard it. In any case, thanks for sharing your libraries and reviews.

Ellen

Hi there, yes I noticed you mention your NZ tag problem in the forums. One more step on the way to world domination! I thought my problem had fixed itself, but this morning I can see yet another random New Zealander's profile page. Since neither LibraryThing or my ISP seem to be able to do anything about it, I guess I'll just have to get used to having a split personality.

Good to hear from you, Ficus! That's mad cold where you are! Still, I bet it's warmer indoors than it is in my all-electric house. :D

Thanks for your friendship! I look forward to checking out your books and hope you enjoy mine.

Just read and enjoyed your review of Finity's End by Cherryh. Always nice to find another fan of hers on LT. Don't know if you are aware of her fans' site Sheijdan (link from her author page) there are some serious fans other there if you are interested.

I am not sure you are clear on what a cartoon is, here. :) Cliff Note things are small pamphlets explaining books for the not so bright American student market? Most tie-ins of course will be fairly ordinary. So are most books. Sturgeon's Law, and all. Written faster, pay less, so certainly will be worse on average from that point of view.

I, personally find Jim Butcher's writing very bland. As far as bad jokes go, Kim Harrison's Attack of the Killer Tomatoes joke is one of the baddest I have seen for a while. The Dresden thing does go on about black magic and the good stuff, at length, too. Harrison very anti-demon specist too. :)

Those books of course, are romance tending novels, so always going to be less action. The point of view identification for the whole paranormal romance thing is for girls that want some hot bad boy shagging, in a lot of them, as well as kicking a bit of arse. A way to get the romance readers to buy some fantasy novels, as well as joining the whole urban fantasy thing from the 80s and giving something different to elves and dragons and dark lords.

Depends what you mean by old time horror. Van Helsing in Dracula is, of course, ghost busting. Certainly more horror than romance novel though.

Graham Masterton, Peter Straub, et. al. and that sort of thing I see as different to where a heroic figure sets out to do something about a situation, or protect people. Although there is obviously some overlap here and there.

Pretty dismissive to say horror as a concept is past it, I don't think that will ever be the case, at least given the past couple of hundred years and more evidence. The written fiction part is, of course, nowhere near as popular as it was 20 years ago or so, and I certainly haven't read much since then, of the black books with skulls on the cover variety. If horror was over, the whole supernatural/paranormal thing wouldn't be around to the same degree.

If you tell me nurse fiction is over, I am more inclined to believe you. :) Although again there are still hospital tv shows.

Thanks very much for the Kiernan info, that is great.

No, Ghostbusters the movie books go in the spoof section, because, well, they are. :). You don't have to like the movie, but a lot of people did, including me. :)

Quite a few of the Ghost Busters are human. Not all of 'em. Depends how many you have read I guess. Quite a few have superhuman abilities or outlandish skills of some sort of another, of course, even if it just being really, really good with a gun, like in Steakley's Vampires.

That's an example of kill the monsters, too, no getting along there. Like Sabat, Silver John, Vampire Hunter D, Necroscope, or whatever.

As opposed to the Dresden files type milieu, with group politics as you say.

Lähettänyt: bluetyson 12:32 am (EST) Apr 15, 2007

Another question seeing I see you have a few of hers listed. Caitlin Kiernan, how do her books interrelate, if you are familiar?

thanks,

bt

Lähettänyt: bluetyson 2:02 am (EST) Apr 12, 2007

Right, well that is what I mean by that in general. Ghost busters, ghost breakers, occult detective, monster hunters. etc.

etc.

Sorry if that was confusing. :)

Thanks very much for the rundown!

Hi FF, Unshapely things is a ghost buster type of story then. You say the guy is unpowered in this?

Thanks,

When all the Dan Brown hype began, a friend of mine borrowed me The DaVinci Code, which I read in english, and Sakrileg (german) and found myself passionatly hating his childish writing style. And opinion which no one in my environment seemed to share. Just read your comment on him in the forum and had to say Thank You!

Oh, I was trolling your library and noticed the Mo Hayder. She has a new one coming out called Pig Island, I think.
