Tietoja minusta With two degrees in history I've made a career in human resources. Go figure, one has to eat and buy more books. I'm a frustrated librarian/writer/poet and currently a daily denizen of an airport where much people watching occurs.

For you Myers-Briggs folks I'm an ESFP.

I've decided to assault my TBR pile in a more methodical fashion, so I will post the ones I knock off in 2008 here. Since the year is half over I'm not making much progress. I need a vacation to get caught up.

Tietoja kirjastostani

Payment is in books read this year, 20 down, 80 to go. It appears we are swimming backwards upstream.

I actually do own all of these. Unfortunately, I've just moved and have had to box up most of my books causing more distress than I would have anticipated. They are slowly escaping from confinement, but I've lost most of my self space so they are accumulating everywhere. If they have a rating I've read them. I only acquire what I'm actually interested in reading for when I someday have the leisure to do it. It's a pretty eclectic mix, largely from trolling the internet, estate sales, library and yard sales. There are a few real treasures interspersed by total garbage. Of course, every great civilization had its midden.

I applied the Netflix star rating. Five is fabulous, one is hated it while every thing else falls in between. Looks like a nice little bell curve skewed to the right.

I was trying to stop at 1,500 books because that's physically more than the space I have can handle, but it seems to keep creeping upward. Looks like since joining LT we're fated to keep heading toward 2,000.
