About meI live in Dublin, Ireland. Besides books I'm interested in computers, music, travel, languages, history and lots of other things that I really don't have time for.
About my libraryI like Late Victorian/Edwardian literature and crime novels, history in particular first half of the 20th Century, travel/exploration in particular South-Central Asia, and true crime in particular Irish. I have bought very few new books over the past few years as there are so many online books available that cater to my tastes!
Update 22 January 2008: I've completed my German and Italian books (300+) and am now commencing on Travel, Victorian/Edwardian literature and Irish history.

Thanks for your comments on my Wicklow Collection. I'm sure you know that Wicklow is full of Byrnes. It was a good job that your gggggrandfather escaped...otherwise you wouldn't be around.
Regarding batch input of ISBNs via Notepad, I have found this to be extremely useful. Ideally you should choose books that can be given the same tags - this will save a lot of time. I input 1 ISBN per line and use upper case X where required. All ISBNs should have 10 or 13 digits. If there is a digit short, try putting a 0 at the front. When the file is ready, log on to LT, add books link, import books link, upload file link, select the 3 libraries to be searched, add the tags that will be added to all titles found, then click on add to queue. The speed of search will depend on how busy the system is, but it is possible to check progress. LT will also tell you any ISBNs that cannot be matched. I hope I haven't missed out on any of the steps, but it is fairly straightforward anyway. Good Luck with it.

Once I was 18 I moved 500 miles from home and have made my own moves through Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota...I think I'm fairly settled now...maybe. At least my library makes me think twice about moving!
I understand the purchasing a book because the title was once in your dad's library. I do that sometimes with a piece of china or glassware that I remember of my mom's. She 'lost' her belongings over and over because of these moves. Some items were from her mother. At the same time I try to 'lighten my load' so my adult sons don't inherit piles of 'stuff'! Sorry this is so long.

I've just checked on the 'friends' connection and it seems to be working Ok from my end.I appear on your 'member connections' as you do on mine. I have also gone to 'connections' at the top of the profile page and checked your books and this also seems to be working alright. Let me know if ypu are still having problems and we will rethink and perhaps start again. I am sure that you will now find it working.

Your mention of 'Mother Russia' came at a good time; I just finished 'Emma Brown' and have not yet read 'Mother Russia' - perfect time to read it. I found my copy at my book group's annual sale a few years ago.
If your father lost books in the move to Ireland it must have been a difficult move. People (notice I didn't say 'friends') have threatened to fill a dumpster with my boxes during one move!

Nice to hear from you.I see that you have added me to 'Interesting Libraries' and have also requested 'Friends status',and this latter I'm pleased to agree to. Will add you to my list as soon as I've finished typing this message.
I see that among your favorite authors are some that I have on my list also (ie Wilkie Collins,Conan Doyle and Stevenson) I also see that you are interested in Victorian/Edwardian literature and Crime fiction,which certainly ties in with my interests.
Dublin I like a lot as my wife and I visited there a few years ago and of course found lots of literary connections there.
Anyway all the best from the English Midlands.
