Tietoja kirjastostani Discovering 'LibraryThing' is my current definition of serendipity. I started collecting books as a teenager (in the 50's) and have sometimes thought of creating a spreadsheet to try to encompass this living organism and lifelong companion. LibraryThing does that and much more. Even so, I was dreading the tedium and lost time of going shelf-by-shelf through my library. But it has been a good experience -- not only reacquaintance with old friends but surprisingly strong memories of when, where, and why individual books were bought. Rather than the expected guilt over the unread or partially-read, I was pleasantly surprised at the number and variety of books I've read (and sometimes re-read) through the years. I also realized that since most of my early reading was courtesy of various public libraries, there's a significant gap between what I own and what I've read. Perhaps a separate tag for books that made a difference, aren't in my personal library, but belong in some larger virtual library? And then there's the loaned-but-never-returned category. Most are long-forgotten but I noticed the absence of A Canticle for Leibowitz, Being There, and 84 Charing Cross Road along with missing Roths, Updikes, Bellows, Cheevers, Irvings, Whartons, not to mention the Robertson Davies. Again, maybe a tag (e.g., MIA) to restore the casualties of time and trust to one's virtual library?
