About meI'm probably not any different than most of the others on this website. I have a weakness for books. Seem to compulsivly buy them. I'm throughly in love with the feel and smell of a book. I like the act of reading, and love to learn. I just need a bigger house to put MORE books.
Other than books, i like history, nature, religion, the furtrade era--you know the kinda stuff my books are about.
About my libraryWhat about it???....hmm.....been collecting books for several years....i've never been a collector of expensive books or valuable books, or books that might appreciate rather than depreciate, i've always been drawn to the material in them rather than the covers and values. All of the books on this list i have...if i sell it, i would take it off my catalog. Don't quite understand why some people have libraries of books they don't have? A great many i've read, of the ones i haven't..most of the rest i've gotten all i needed out of a good skimmin'

I am a new user, just went over the 200 mark so had to pay up for a lifetime membership, but I made mine private because I panicked when I saw my username proliferating all across cyberspace. I have been invisible there until now, so I am not sure how I feel about that. I will probably go public eventually, because being private makes my reviews invisible. Also I have encountered the disappointment of not being able to check out the catalog of someone high on my shared list.
I see you joined recently too. How on earth did you get 700 books entered in 2 weeks??? I find that I have fewer typos if I add new books by the ISBN, but then I have to clean up whatever comes across from Amazon.
We share only 5 titles right now, but I can see from your catalog that the number will increase. I too am fond of western history. Also, I know what you mean about the feel and smell of books. For the early accounts I prefer to find very early editions whenever possible. That "old book" smell makes me feel like I am in their era somehow. We have lots of used bookstores in Portland (including Powell's, the best of all), and I travel a lot for work, so have plenty of opportunities. Happy reading!
