About meIn my perfect world there would be a book sorting hat like the one in Harry Potter. I'd put it on and it would think about what would be the perfect book for me to read. And under my breath I would be saying "No Danielle Steele. And no Nora Roberts..."
"Hmmm, interesting...Nora Roberts? Are you sure? She writes of witches and sorcery? You might like her books."
"I am sure. No Nora Roberts," I would reply firmly.
"Then Dean Koontz it is!" he would cry.
And I would be happy.
About my libraryAfter I read a book it goes into either the "I am going to sell this book" or the "I am going to keep this book" pile. I have another heap of books in the "I want to read you but just haven't gotten to you yet" pile. And yet another heap of books called "I tried to read you but you were a little too uncooperative" pile. And a smaller but significant pile of "What was I thinking when I let you into my life?" Some day I will get shelves and the books will ascend to their rightful throne, off the floor, elevated to the status to which they were rightfully born.

I have hundreds of vintage Scholastics to put on here, and I do intend to do it--along with hundreds of books that aren't vintage Scholastics! I mostly read and collect children's and YA books, but I have many, many types of books.
About the Scholastics, though, I think of it as a way of documenting them since the company never did--so it's up to those of us who collect them. Also so many of them are nostalgic for people, and even just having a cover and using the summary from the book itself (I feel lazy doing that, but even that is, in a way, documenting) helps people find their lost books.

Now that collections is here, I'm in the process of adding the books that I read as a kid (in the 70's for me), so we will probably gain more of those old books in common.
