GroupsFloridians, I Survived the Great Vowel Shift

About my libraryI'm just starting out, hoping to do 50 a day for awhile to get the bulk of the books in. I'm impressed with the work many of you have done to get your collections into LibraryThing. Mine has lots of travel, memoir, fiction, science fiction, science, history, poetry, computers/technology, music and essay/criticism. Not that much of it shows yet...50 a day...

There are a number of Jerome K. Jerome books, all of which should be available from the Project Gutenberg web site.

The "Three Men" books and "Idle Thoughts..." are good, but I found some of the others pretty weak.

Do my wife & I mingle our books? Well, we have! All they books are mine except for cookbooks (mostly shared), children's books (mostly belonging to the kids -- and not yet catalogged), and child care books (shared).

She's just not the same kind of reader I am. I don't know whether this is more common than reader/reader marriages, but it's worked for us so far. :7)

Anyway, she recognizes the value of reading, and the kids are being raised to love books, so we're happy.

Erm, Jerome K. Jerome's "Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow" is tagged as 'American lit' -- but JKJ was veddy British indeed. Is that a typo? :7) Also, have you read "Three men in a Boat," arguably his funniest book?
