Sobre mimI live in the Midwest, majored in English literature and somehow wound up in graphic design. My tastes run to the eclectic. I suppose I like almost everything except Westerns and technical manuals. And if it were a very useful technical manual, I might like that too.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaAs someone else on here said, I don't intend at this moment to break my library down in a coherent way as to what I have in my actual possession. Rather, I think it would be fun to try to make a no-holds-barred catalogue of every book I've ever read. It does make me feel like one of Terry Pratchett's Auditors, but it has an undeniably satisfying element. Also, it's interesting to see what logical structure Librarything makes out of all this chaos, and who might have the same kind of taste I do. Or lack thereof, in some instances.
As a caveat, my star rating is more a reflection of how much I enjoyed the book at the time I read it, be that age 9, 15, or yesterday, rather than an assessment of its intrinsic literary value. I don't pretend to speak for all of humanity and the literary canon - just myself - so if it brought something to me at the time, I awarded it stars accordingly.

I am so obsessed by this site. It's like having one of those dreams where you find everything you've ever had and lost in a big attic or a bookstore somewhere - like the end of Labyrinth, where Sara is tempted by the old lady with all of her lost and forgotten toys. Librarything - the library of forgotten toys. And, it recommends new things to you! I'm in love.

Thanks. I'll check it out.
Well, if you look through my books, you will see there is quite a bit of geeky stuff in there. You would have to be a bit more obscure than Evangelion!
We seem to have similar tastes in books...which brings up only one question...

Do you actually resemble Major Katsuragi?
I really enjoyed the first Steven Saylor book - it had both Roman upper and lower class events happening, which I really enjoyed. Basically the series follows a finder (basically a detective) who comes across as a film noir gumshoe during the age of the Roman Republic. I'm actually startint the next book right away and definitely enjoy them.

I'm getting a degree in Professional Arts majoring in Communications Studies. Right now I'm a Library Technician (2-year college diploma) and am on my way to Librarian (Master's degree). Most of the classes I take are on Film, Radio, Newpapers, The Internet, etc., so with my option courses I decided to go the other way and look at the Classics - I just finished a course on Ancient Greece - very cool (while I was taking that I read Gene Wolfe's Soldier of the Mist Series) and am currently taking a two-part Rome and Early Christianity course, which is actually a lot of fun!

I'll have to check out the Elizabeth George books, as my wife runs through all the mystery series I bring her at an incredible rate.

What did you end up getting your degree in?

Thank you for your recommendations on my post about finding my ideal book. I'm looking forward to trying them, nice of you to take the time to suggest them.

best,
Caroline, myidealbook
I'm reading Outlander for my monthly book club - September was our "Member's Choice" selection. So far it's okay - I'm about halfway through. It is not my normal style of book, but my wife loved it - she read it a couple week's back and is actually reading the sixth book of the series right now.

The big series I'm reading roght now is Steven Saylor's books of Ancient Rome - basically murder mysteries set during the Roman Republic. I'm taking a distance-learning course through Athabasca University in Rome and Early Christianity, and figured the series might complement my school work.

I've never actually read anything by Elizabeth George - they are British Murder mysteries, right? Are they any good?
Thanks for adding my collection to your "interesting libraries" list, much like you I'm trying to get all of my books (the ones I've read and don't own, as well as the ones I do) on library thing, but it's a lot of work.
Hello

If it's ok with you I added you to my interesting libraries. We share several books, mostly classics, I lived in Cincy for 3 yrs and majored in English literature. Happy Reading !

Noticed you liked I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed young girl's mental illness and also a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:
