Tietoja minusta Old, fat, bald, nerd with just a touch of Asperger's Syndrome. Once I realized I was going to be a geek for life I decided I might as well wallow in it. Hence the tattoo.

My Amazon wish lists might give a better idea of what I like. Too many books, not enough time. Or money.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A1K...

Disambiguation notice: Although we share a name, and I have some D&D books, I am NOT the person who writes D&D modules. Although I admire his work.

Tietoja kirjastostani Oh, I don't know. Kind of a mix of literature and technical stuff.

I am dubious about some of my entries - geological maps and suchlike. However, I figure a regular library would accession these, and I like to keep track of which ones I have.

I collect vampire and mummy movies, even atrociously bad ones, so their presence in my library doesn't necessarily indicate lack of taste. I hope.

All books, movies, etc. are things that are physically on the shelves (with the exception of a few that are out on loan or were accidentally entered twice). In other words, there are no "wish list" books or "read this but don't have a physical copy" books.

I think I'm getting the hang of properly combining books and authors; I probably caused trouble the first few times I tried, and if so I apologize.

Some of you are probably wondering how you got on my "interesting library" list. It's more or less like this:

1) If you put me on your interesting libraries list, or

2) If we have at least a 10% book overlap, and you have books from seemingly wildly divergent categories (Georgette Heyer novels and calculus; egyptology and sewage treatment; Wicca and vertebrate paleontology), or

3) All libraries are interesting

Never seen the bats in Austen, but would LOVE too! We have bats around our house and I love to watch them here. Seeing a large amount, like the bridge in Austen, would be a dream!

It may take them a while to come to your bat house. The human smell has to leave and sometimes that takes a year or so.
I suppose we're both exhibitionists, then? "Book Flashers"?

Well, I do own a long raincoat.
We share an interesting assortment of books, including a bat reference guide, which is how I came to check on you. I'm wild about bats. :D

I'm on the Asperger's spectrum myself and work with preschoolers Austism. I always say I love my job so much because I understand them better than a typical person.

Love the tat; mine is in the drawing stage and will be (of course) a bat. :D
I know how you feel. However, if people put their library on internet and choose not make their account private I guess they don't mind other people looking in.
"All libraries are interesting"

Good point!
Well, I rather expect you have other things to occupy your time. Like having a life, for example.

Well, there's some truth to that, though two of my kids are ferocious readers also. The other thing is that I am a great borrower of books that eventually have to be returned.
Wow, almost 6,000 books? You shame me.
I have more fantasy fiction, ancient history and egyptology to list so I may yet beat 7th! I have approx another 500 to list.

{I had questions about some things - for example, are the Histories of Herodotus "literature" or "histories"}

I have Herodotus simply tossed in a big tag called "classics". In taxonomy, you have your lumpers and your splitters. I'm definitely the former. If I'm browsing someone's library, it is a lot easier to scroll through a lot of books under one general topic.

I don't browse much, I get so many TBR candidates from the various message boards.

Anyway, I like your format much better than those who have 3,000 books and 1,000 tags!
Greetings Bruce, from an old bald nerd who is loosing some weight an lacks cool ink. You've got a cool library, I'm especially interested in the literature tag.
There are 101 theories regarding the mauscript. I think its a case of picking your favourite. I liked the life story of the book dealer Voynich who originally found it. Searching for ancient tomes seems to me the ideal job. The only problem being I know I could never part with a book once I owned it. I would starve to death surrounded by a fortune.I like you have accepted myself as the geek I was born to be.

Interesting you named the Luxor Museum bookshop as a favourite. I,ve been to Luxor twice: 1995 & 1997 and visited the museum both times.
Hi - thanks for the add. or the ADD... hehe. That's my reading style - ADD. My interests are all over the place in some ways, yet focused in others - love natural history/geology/science/outdoor/travel stuff, which is all sort of interrelated. Love your tattoo!!
Oh, boy, environmental compliance--my last in-house job was proofreading for a company that produces environmental compliance, human resources, and safety materials. Reading wastewater disposal regs for 49 states (all but the one we lived in, oddly enough) was not my favorite task of all time!

But very little of my leisure reading has anything to do with the type of thing I do for work, which is mostly reference publishing--although I might argue that everything has to do with reference and many factoids come in handy sooner or later!

I adore Lindsey Davis, though--I'd have more of her works listed, but lost the bottom shelf's worth of books, including a bunch of hers, from all my bookcases in a flood two summers ago. Irritatingly enough, most of what I lost were the ones I collected but hadn't yet read. On the other hand, through this site I've discovered BookMooch, so I'm repopulating my library at a great rate! (And so cheaply.)

Elizabeth
Okay, I sort of take it back--I like history, but so far (as I've cataloged, I mean) that's not where our libraries overlap--more Lindsey Davis and Barbara Michaels and a few cookbooks. Sometimes LT is so random!

Elizabeth
Hi,

Not to moan too much about the weather--today was lovely--but it's been one of those chilly damp gray springs for the most part. I kinda hate going from heat one day to air conditioning a week later, but should just suck it up and realize that's where I'm living. I grew up around here, so should know better (maybe forgot by living in Pennsylvania, Virginia, California, and Connecticut in the interval between high school and these many decades later).

Anyway, shall add your library to the interesting ones . . . our overlap seems to be history and 1800s, at the least. I still have a lot of books to add, but will get around to it.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
I can very much see myself holding the same sign. *grin*
That should be fun. Any Klingon Republicans in Mensa?
Likewise, and your collection is not to be snubbed at either.
Hi, Nice collection... OK, so I only looked up your geology books - a great list. Have you come across John McPhee's "Annals of the Formal World"? Thanks for marking my library interesting.
Cheers, d
I like...people who can use "multivariate" in a sentence, yet know that bentonite is sticky.

Yes, we are a special breed.
Thanks for the compliment, Bruce. I still have a lot of adding to do, but I hope to match the volume of catalogued items in your library someday. I look forward to perusing your "shelves" and will be adding your library to my list, as well. Nerdiness is next to Godliness...or Hal-iness...or Horus-iness...? Whatever.

I was at the OI in the late 90's. I worked at the University of Chicago Hospital---angio tech and went to school part time. Got a great discount as an employee.
I love the OI...I was a docent there for years. Have you seen the new Egypt hall-amazing.
Nice to hear from you...
nans
Tahnks for adding my library-I'll peruse yours at leisure. You seem yo be interested in Egyptology also..I studied at the Oriental Institute in Chicago--I love and hope to visit egypt some day...you have a very interesting library from what I have seen so far...
nans
I sift pretty much the same way...mostly depends on how much time I have at the moment.

Hi Bruce- I'm glad you found my library interesting. I haven't used that feature yet, but had noticed your name as sharing several of my less common books. After looking at your author cloud, I think we'd have even more overlap if I included books I've read from the public libraries. I'm still working my way through the house and boxed books- but will get there gradually. I'm intrigues that in Colorado, you have tgeh GSA Field trip guide from the Philadelphia meeting - but then I've got field trip guides from lots of other places too- just not yet in LT.

Take Care
Helenoel
Likewise. I look forward to sifting through your books.

I'm actually working my way through the Lindsey Davis novels right now. I've read most of them; I think I have four left in the series. I have a collection of Saylor's short stories, which I really enjoyed, but I haven't been able to read any of his other books yet because reading for school takes up all of my time these days. It's a bummer.
Yeah, after I read I, Claudius, I exhausted the local libraries trying to find everything they had to offer on him. I guess that makes me a really big nerd.
augustus, trajan, hadrian, julian the apostate. i'm also very interested in the life of julius caesar.
maybe "favorite roman emperors" is misleading.
perhaps it should read "a list of roman emperors i'm most interested in."
No problem on the shortness of the note - I'm sharing that experience as well.

Your about me says: "Old, fat, bald ..." Are you perchance a runner as well as a nerd? The "Old, fat, bald" phrase is a favorite (usually, but not always, ironic) description used by runners.
Yep! I enjoy reading and learning different things (not as many as I should, perhaps), even though my special interest are women writers.
I am always amazed at the vastity of interests and breadth of knowledge - beside the amount of books - I find in many of our fellow LThingers. Quite an interesting community and nice place to be, don't you think?

Paola :-))
Hello Bruce!
Thanks for adding my library to the ones you find interesting. I will wander through your shelves as soon as I have a moment. In the meantime, happy reading!

Paola :-))
Hi Bruce:

Thanks for adding me to your interesting libraries list! I've returned the compliment--you have a nice eclectic collection.

Cheers!

BarbN
