Tietoja minusta "So many books, so little time."
I am a LibraryThing Purist - these are only books that I own.
Personal Website: http://home.att.net/~cimmeria
I'm a pretty boring guy. Hobbies include reading, writing, powerlifting, and drinking (not necessarily in that order).

NEW GOAL:
I've decided to attempt to not buy any more books until I put a significant dent in the number of books tagged "not read". Although I'm not counting books that are an ongoing series, i.e., if I have two books of a trilogy, I will buy the third in the series. I just won't start any new series.
Tietoja kirjastostani "...The rest, with very little exaggeration, was books. Meant-to-be-picked-up books. Permanently-left-behind books. Uncertain-what-to-do-with books. But books, books. Tall cases lined three walls of the room, filled to and beyond capacity. The overflow had been piled in stacks on the floor. There was little space left for walking, and none whatever for pacing."
- "Franny and Zooey" J.D. Salinger
To date, I've cataloged nearly 90% of my collection.

Just to give you an idea of my shelf situation:
- I have six bookcases in my den/study/computer room. Four of them nearly touch the ceiling. The other two are approximately five-feet high.
- I have three bookcases in the spare bedroom. Two nearly touch the ceiling, while the third is slightly higher than waist high (three shelves).
- In the bedroom, I have two bookcases that consist of only two shelves each.
- In the living room, I have one bookcase, shoulder-high with three shelves.
- In the downstairs spare room, I have a twin of the bookcase in the living room.
- Through-out the rest of the house, books are just randomly stacked, i.e., "Hey, there's a clear spot! Put them there!"
Initially my problem was running out of shelf space. Now my problem is that I'm running out of wall space to put new bookcases. I need to buy a bigger house.

My proudest cat rescue is Agamemnon, a huge feral tomcat that we trapped. The vet thinks he was about 1 1/2 to 2 years old at the time, and she was the only person who thought we had any chance of socializing him. He was battle-scarred, and scared to death of us. It took a year and a half for him to purr for the first time. Now he runs to great us at the door, can't get enough scritching, and sleeps on our bed when what passes for winter in Houston arrives. (We trapped him in upstate New York, in February, in a year that we'd already had 100 inches of snow!) We trapped a little girl at the same time and assume they're related in some way, but she was much easier to socialize.
Re: Trek, I've gone to Shore Leave every year for the past four years; it's one of the few remaining fan-run Trek conventions, and many of the big-name Trek authors attend every year. I started writing Trek for the Strange New Worlds anthologies, which were run like open-call contests. This past year, I was invited to pitch for the Sky's the Limit anthology. It was my first time getting a contract for a story before I'd written it, and it was pretty intimidating! But it all turned out well.
Re: Hardy Boys, my favorite was The Mystery of the Chinese Junk. But yes, the Three Investigators were much more intelligent, in my opinion. I think most kids who read them got them from the library; I don't think they were marketed in bookstores the same way Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys were.
Those Battletech manuals are my husband's. I've never managed to figure out most games; I can't think ahead more than a move or so, so I'm bad at them. Not long ago, I played Risk for the first time, the Lord of the Rings version. We started the game at 11 p.m. Oops.... we finished at 5:30 a.m. (When you don't have kids, you can still be really immature and stay up all night playing games!)
Can I borrow/steal your tag idea for "books about books"? I like it!
Boy, I write long, wordy comments, don't I?

I didn't own most of the Three Investigators books -- I read them at the local public library. I remember some of the details very, very specifically -- esp. Terror Castle, which I think was my favorite. With the Invisible Dog, I remember it was some valuable crystal figurine or statuette, and I think it was hidden in a swimming pool, where it couldn't be seen because it was transparent.
I did own one of the Three Investigators books, which my parents gave me as a gift: Magic Circle. Ironically, that was one of my least favorites in that series, which is why I didn't keep it.
Oh wait, I have since bought a copy of Terror Castle, probably on ebay or abebooks.
The Hardy Boys books we owned -- my sister had some and I had some. I think she gave hers to me, but kept her Nancy Drews.....
Wow, it's easy to get going on the nostalgia thing!
I noticed we have a lot of science fiction in common. I mostly read SF and young adult these days.
Take care,
Amy
