About meI'm a Librarian, or as my latest job title describes it, a Knowledge Analyst. I've been reading since I was a wee thing, probably because I was read to a lot as a kid. These days I keep a paper and online journal to keep track of it all. My tendency is toward literary fiction, but there is a good dose of non-fiction and poetry thrown in there as well.
The photo is me in "Shakespeare & Co." in Paris, happily ensconced among the books!
About my libraryI finally finished cataloging my library in 2008. There is a bit of tidying to do, and I have a sneaky suspicion that I've missed a box of books somewhere, but it's basically done.
Some of the books belong to the lovely hubby (read: Sport, Dinosaurs, Jeremy Clarkson, fantasy), but I've put everything together as we do read each others books from time to time.
I have a second LT catalogue, with just my kids books in it here. I've not quite finished with it though (there is a pile of another 50 or so books to add - they're looking at me right now...).

Thanks for the info on the 501 Great Writers book. I live in Australia so I will check out the bookshops in Sydney. I'm due for a trip into the city soon to stock up on holiday reads and christmas presents. I like the photo of you in Shakespeare & Co in Paris - I'm so jealous.

And I see you've finished Swann's Way. That was fast!
Have joined about 5 new groups since our meet-up, but I've finished some books too.

I like your picture - surrounded by books is the only way to go.
Good luck cataloging everything. And, good idea to keep a separate account for your kids books, although I'm going to keep my daughter's books in mine with her initials to identify them, and I will put my husband's books in mine with his initials. He reads SF.
Take care and see you around LT!

"Hibiscus Coast' by Paula Morris is a recent one - a bit of a thriller and set firmly in Auckland. Again a bit slow in the beginning but some memorable characters and some good tension.

p.s. Did you love Atonement and Saturday as much as I did?
