Sobre mim I am the founder and lead developer of LibraryThing.

Sobre a minha biblioteca My interests run to ancient history, Greek and Latin. So far I've done maybe 1/4-1/3 of what I have. Frankly, it's also gotten a bit mixed-up and redundant, as I use this account for testing. (There are a couple books I test out with, because I know they have certain fields or are in certain libraries.) That said, I've got a good chunk of my history, religion and archaeology in. Greek, Latin and novels to come....

Tim,
I've just been made lead on my company's book club. I'm expected to come up with the titles/dates/discussion items. It's not that difficult to me, but I was wondering if there were any features on LibraryThing aimed at book clubs or book club moderators? I've been digging around and can't find anything. Just asking because LibraryThing was the first place I went when I started making my plans.

BTW, LOVE LibraryThing!
Heidi
Another book recommendation for you. :)

The First Fossil Hunters: Paleontology in Greek and Roman Times

Thanks, Tim

Deepest apologies for not picking up on what was meant by 'Touchstones' until I was posting my second message. Can only proffer the (feeble) excuse *HHIS* that despite being a native speaker of English I still find some American terminology a tad, er, foreign.

Hi Tim,

I wanted to thank you for bringing up the copyright issue in the RDA discussion over autocat. It's really a shame that none of the RDA proponents have responded.
Tim,

Would you please check DrDeniro as I think he is a Spammer. Check richardderus profile for three spam posts.

Regards,

Tim,
I noticed you added The Chrysanthemum and the Sword. I picked up a copy in a used book store some time back. I had read Patterns of Culture in college. The book is an interesting concept. Learn to know your enemy. I thought there were some interesting insights.

Er, check out the last post on my thread in the 75 books group? Did we celebrate too soon?
I just got invited to join this group:

What are the chances that the founder of the group IS who he says he is?

Thank you for being the "founder and lead developer" of Library Thing. This is an amazing site. I appreciate your efforts!
Thanks for dealing with my unwelcome visitor!

Heya Tim, we're missing you over on the Banned Books Library discussion. :-)
u say in a june comment that the library on zeitghiest with some 75,000 books is a mistake and "will be removed soon."
Is that the way "soon" is used by Abby when she said back in January she was about to add author's books to Early Reviewers?

I KNOW the above is a bit sardonic (or is it sarcastic?), but I'm worried that you guys are so worried about Amazon et al that you aren't taking care of the cookies that are already in the oven.

When you remove that 75,000 book library that is a public library and not a private collection, could you update the number of top libraries from 3,000 to 5,000 please? This would keep up with the coming one percent of the whole (500,000 members -- we are almost there!!)

yours in LT

Tim, I've just emailed my question to you regarding LT tags.
Thanks for the help :)
Sole
Tim--

You and your team do amazing work...

A feature request that my quick search of feature requests didn't turn up: I use tags extensively to sort and resort my collection. Tags would be even more useful if I could sort on multiple tags: for instance, before a trip to New York City, I might like to find my books tagged New York City plus Architecture or Travel Guides or History.

If this is too complex to be practical, another approach would be the ability to search within search results, much as Google does for web searches: I'd search for New York City, then within that search I'd search on Architecture or Travel Guides or History.

Thanks--

A book you might like

Mani: Travels in the Southern Peloponnese by Patrick Leigh Fermor

As per your preference, I am staying away from the noxious John Edwards thread. Still, I am posting here to make it clear and public that I did, in fact, flag Oakes' last post. I did this in spite of the fact that I don't support flagging except in the most extreme cases. This post was clearly against the TOS.

I would say more, but I don't really see the point of rehashing things again. I might have some private questions for you later on.

Anyway, what happens when I collect 4 flags? Rehab?
Ah, yes, it's a 1932 campaign poster for the SPD.

Today, the party's on the verge of imploding, but... They've had a good 130+ year run, and, as they've certainly weathered their fair share of storms over the years, I wouldn't be surprised if they find a way to pull their collective (and respective) act(s) together (and sooner rather than later)...
Oh I have my side, I do indeed: the Welfare State (and not the sissy liberal version; I'm talking about the full-blown social democratic model)! Popular, pragmatic, and relatively egalitarian democratic institutions, not icons!

Good luck, you say?

Yes, I'll need it...
So you say...
Hello Tim,
It's nice to find a fan of M.I.Finley. You are are tough rater but you gave him high marks. I always felt that Finley could get more in an essay than many authors could put in a book. Another favorite author of mine, Isaiah Berlin, is like that. I haven't read Paul Johnson but I was also unimpressed by Howard Zinn. You are quite a fan of Alexander the Great. Getting ready to take over the world? Enjoyed your library and got a few hints for my wish list. Thanks.
Bill
ps... anyway

Thank You!
