Tietoja minusta Just a typical polymath.

Tietoja kirjastostani A room without books is like a body without a soul. - Cicero
(What? You don't have books in your bathroom?)
A truly great library contains something in it to offend everyone. - Jo Godwin
(And once I get everything up here...)

Have a cookie. They're tasty. Watch the crumbs around the books though.

Do you like tags? I like tags. I like shelves too.

Genre (Partial): Fiction, Nonfiction, Education, History, Classics, Survival, Fantasy, Science Fantasy, Science Fiction, Science, Travel, Space Travel, Time Travel, Supernatural, Shapeshifting, Size.

Division Rules (expanded from PortiaLong's version)
I'm not bothering to include most anthologies and collections until the multi-author system arrives, if not subworks too... And don't even get me started on translators.

*Anthology : group of short works by different authors - author listed as "(Editor), Last First"
[example: Tomorrow, The Stars by Heinlein Robert A. (Editor)]

*Collection : group of short works by ONE author
[example: Expanded Universe by Robert A. Heinlein]

*Version: Familiar stories in various forms (Aladdin, Tam Lin, Beauty and the Beast), hence versions. These stories are often, but not always, fairy tales. Sometimes they've just been Disneyfied instead.

*Series: This is obvious. Sometimes it's even an omnibus.

*Omnibus : group of longer works, which are also published separately
[example: A Heinlein Trio by Robert A. Heinlein]

*Inclusion (none yet): Smaller work included in larger (Anthology / Collection / Omnibus)
[example: The Puppet Masters by Robert A. Heinlein]

*Also in: Smaller work published separately, when it's also included in a larger (Anthology / Collection / Omnibus).
[example: The Little Lame Prince by Dinah Marie Craik]

I picked up the Susan Cooper at a library sale when the all the movie hype was going on. I just haven't collected the others yet. I'll list Biblioholism and reserve it for you. Cheers.

I read all the Danny Dunn books too!

Lähettänyt: espertus 12:37 am (EST) Jul 13, 2008

Uh, THANK YOU!

p.s. more dooooooooom?

Lähettänyt: piratequeen 6:41 pm (EST) Jul 8, 2008

Hi, thanks for the recommendation. I've actually read this book. There are a few interesting theories in there...

Lähettänyt: sgashi 8:44 pm (EST) Jul 3, 2008

Thanks for your comment! I see this "member recommendations" feature as a potentially addictive activity . . .

:-)

Lähettänyt: foggidawn 10:44 pm (EST) Jun 25, 2008

Thank you so much for making recommendations for my favorite books. I look forward to trying them out.

Lähettänyt: espertus 8:34 pm (EST) May 31, 2008

I saw your recommendation of [The Last of the Really Grate Whangdoodles] for [The Phantom Tollbooth]. I've read both and think that's a good recommendation. Thanks for making it, and I hope I see other recommendations of yours toward books that I haven't yet read.

Lähettänyt: espertus 2:21 am (EST) May 27, 2008

Poking you to point out that I have added another section to my Tag Decoder - as well as prettied it up a bit (what with links and some bold, and italics and whatnot). Next section is likely to be science fiction subgenres, although that may be a bit of a headache and require me to re-read the 482 books I have tagged "sci-fi" (and likely the 105 books I have tagged "fantasy") -- oh, what a hardship! Guess I better get to reading >grin

Lähettänyt: PortiaLong 6:17 pm (EST) May 18, 2008

But thank you for the offer, though! Lois

Lähettänyt: avaland 7:29 pm (EST) Mar 14, 2008

Aha! I see why you wanted my BookMooch userid (it's kayhardtmann). Unfortunately, not because you want my two despised David Guterson novels.

However did we live without BookMooch and Librarything? And to think computers were to spell the death of the printed word.

Lähettänyt: RidgewayGirl 8:51 pm (EST) Mar 13, 2008

Just checking to see if you are around. I'd like for you to test something for me if you are still using that antiquated version of Safari. :)

Love the map tool! We share some favorite authors, and I'm definitely going to have to take a look at a few of the books you've 5 starred. Thanks for sharing.

Baen is a wonderful suggestion, Thanks! I'll be certain to sed them an early reveiwers letter.

What a great list! Thanks so much. I went through and marked the books we have here in the library, and found a respectable number. But what I REALLY liked were the familiar authors with unfamiliar titles. I like new people, but I also like finding new facets to authors I already know. Thanks again. Mary Lou

Lähettänyt: MerryMary 11:41 am (EST) Oct 30, 2007

re: authors. Nope, go for it!

Lähettänyt: MerryMary 4:27 pm (EST) Oct 29, 2007

YA, especially. Fantasy is always popular. So is historical and scifi. Horror is too, but I don't like it personally. I try not to let that get in the way of purchasing for my students.

Lähettänyt: MerryMary 3:44 pm (EST) Oct 29, 2007

Hi. I'm always looking for good female leads, for myself and my students. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks for offering! Mary Lou

Lähettänyt: MerryMary 9:20 am (EST) Oct 29, 2007

Yes, well, Mercedes Lackey's writing style sort of makes me want to poke my eyes out, so I don't remember much about Need.

I did read that anthology, and that's one of the stories I liked, I think. As I recall, I liked half the stories and wasn't all that fond of the rest. But my favorite McKinley book is Sunshine, no question.

Lähettänyt: bluesalamanders 2:31 am (EST) Oct 27, 2007

Haha, no, I was talking about Gounturan from Robin McKinley's Damar books.

The translator of my copy of The Iliad is Alexander Pope.

Re. O'Donohoe - I read the 2nd or 3rd one many years ago, and have only vague memories of it. When I entered the 1st one in my stack, I decided to run through 'em again.

Lähettänyt: rowens 12:30 pm (EST) Aug 24, 2007

When I look at your recent additions, I keep thinking "Ooo I have that!" and "Wait, you haven't read that yet? Read it now! Now now now now now!" (Of course, those apply to my own books too.)

:D Yeah, entering all these is reminding me that I need to take the time to read some of the treasures I already have, as well as picking up new ones. And I've still got quite a few boxes yet to scan!

Lähettänyt: rowens 11:00 am (EST) Aug 12, 2007

LOL, she sent a message to me 23 minutes before you did, saying she'd gotten my check and upgraded my account, so I'm set.

Re the strange order - right now much of my library is stored in boxes, with minimal ordering (result of several moves and my own laziness). So, I'd grab a box, bring it to the computer, scan it in, take it back to the library (aka the extra bedroom that, with shelves, might someday be worthy of the name "library"). Now that my booklist is uncapped, I'll be scanning the rest, which might fill in some of the gaps. (But no promises - it really is eclectic!)

Lähettänyt: rowens 1:25 am (EST) Aug 8, 2007

Well, we're going to be sharing at least in the 20 range, if not more, out of your current 200. And that's from the first page. :)

Many more than that, once my account is upgraded (please hurry, USPS!). I like your division rules, by the way, may have to "borrow" parts of them.

Lähettänyt: rowens 7:54 pm (EST) Aug 7, 2007

I DO catalogue the separate novels in Omnibus as inclusions - which is why I made the distiction. I missed "Methuselah's Children" because I used to have (two separate) stand alone copies of it so I forgot that it was included in TPTT - thanks for pointing it out. Because it contains both short stories and works published individually TPTT now carries BOTH the 'collection' and 'omnibus' tags.

I made the distinction so that if they came up with a way to handle short stories I could identify which items contained as-yet-uncatalogued works. I don't know if you can see it but in the "comments" for any work with the 'omnibus' tag I write "Includes: list of works" and in the "comments" for any work with the 'inclusion' tag I write "Included In: name of omnibus work" - so I have my own internal cross-reference.

Lähettänyt: PortiaLong 11:25 am (EST) Jul 21, 2007

HEY! you stole my division rules!....COOOL!

Lähettänyt: PortiaLong 9:50 pm (EST) Jul 20, 2007

That's why you need this book: http://www.librarything.com/work/91944
It doesn't make AACR2 "fun", but it does make as palitable as possible.

Lähettänyt: cleverusername2 9:05 am (EST) Jul 12, 2007

Hello, fellow librarian! As a cataloger I dig your division rules.
