About my libraryReading journal for Suzy and I now split by collection. Mine is up to date as of 23-Oct-09.
CueCat is so cool - now entering books I haven't read yet. tbr-pile means "in the to be read pile" while tbr library means "to be read - book is somewhere in the house".
Tags are obvious except for meXX which is the year I read the book so tagged (e.g. me06 means I read the book in 2006) and maybe "ngf" which means non-genre fiction.

Glad you liked my book.
Yes, I didn't like high school. Except for English class. I liked most of my college classes a lot though.
Fain is kind of expensive these days since it's out of print. It's good though.
