Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon is amazing. Have you tried the Hyperion books by Simmons? I recommend Chandler's Big Sleep too if you like the street wise style of detective fiction (of which Morgan's AC captures very well in a science fiction setting)

I think it may be possible to enter Trevor's work's manually. My copies are in the attic (don't tell Trevor), so it will be a while before I get to them. He's been quiet recently - possibly sulking. I wonder if he could be persuaded to join Librarything?

Hi Stewart, I'm on this too now. 1/3rd of my books done.

Glad you found something(s) you liked the look of! I don't use BookMooch - I refer back to many of my books for research purposes, and there are very few I could readily part with...

I'll put all the Who books in eventually, even though it'll make me a curiously keen reader of Uncle Terry but it's such a huge task I'm avoiding it for now.

I'm pretty surprised as well, but I've not added my bookshelves in my attic workspace, in the hallway or in my room yet so there's no real set of a) reference books, b) SF, crime and classics or c) Who novels yet.

I've just been through the first twenty five pages by title - I listed The Alteration and Die Another Day twice, but everything else is as it should be. When I'm done piling the books onto the system, I'll go through and trim any duplicate entries.

I'm listing different editions - I've got, for example, four copies of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, a reading copy, a first edition, a copy in French and the talking book. So the title should appear four times.
