About me Horror author, college professor, oddball.

About my library In progress (aren't they all?). I'm a fan of the library database software at readerware.com, and hope to integrate this with that somehow, but I'm flummoxed for the time being. So...for now, what we've got here is a semi-random sampling of my favorites and titles that I find on other people's libraries that I recognize from my own.

Hi Mike

Thanks for adding me to your friends list. Cool library.

Awesome. Several of the titles were added to the WPF manual, which was fantastic since we romance and chick lit people needed some more recent material to use.

You're welcome, Mike. I browsed your shelf. Been meaning to try Cody Goodfellow. Noticed a couple of Ligotti books. He's one of my favorite writers.

Glad to catch up with you in the "profile comments" after checking out the blog. The humorous mystery stuff...I'd start with Paul Levine's Solomon vs. Lord -- http://www.librarything.com/work.php?book=9400564 -- goofy but fun.

You have a great library too! I'm going to browse it for titles I need.

Mike,

I read your comment a few days ago when you posted it and again today. I have to say, you so made my day.

GREAT library, Mike! I didn't see your comment last month (DUH) so thanks for dropping by. I never realized how many reference books I have in the religion field (most not catalogued yet, but I'll get to 'em eventually. See you soon.

Hi, Mike:

Thanks for dropping by. Given my day job, it's probably not surprising that I have a lot of anthologies . Some day, I hope to figure out a way to post the tables of contents, but that'll undoubtedly take longer than entering the library itself.

Best wishes,
Larry

Have you read Lance Olsen's "Sewing Shut My Eyes"? There were a few gems, but pretty adolescent overall.

Horror fans: check out my annotated list of "must have horror" anthologies, just posted at the Horror Fiction News Network. Most of the books listed there are in my library here, but there you can get some reviews and critical discussion. -- Mike Arnzen

If you're a geek for loving LT, then I must be too! We actually started our catalog with the idea that if something ever happened to our things, we wouldn't even realize what we'd lost or needed to replace. I probably acquire another one every week or so, just from browsing, and of course since my husband and I are both in grad programs there are always required texts - Matt's theology books take up more space than my novels. The down side of having such a great selection is that when you move (like we're doing this week) you have to take them all with you. Luckily, we're just going across the parking lot to a bigger apartment this time - in part to accommodate all the books! But I like seeing who else has my books, or similar ones.

Good to see you here. Don't judge me too harshly on the stuff I have posted - there's a long way to go yet :-)

Hey there - just dropping by to see what you've got and give a friendly wave. See you in June!

Thanks - I'm nowhere near done cataloguing my books yet, but horror has been a favorite genre of mine since I was 8 or 9, over 30 years now.

Mike, I just picked up a copy of your Delirium release of Grave Markings. Just read the intro, and I'll be getting to the slippery insides soon...looking forward to it. Cheers!

Thanks for the comment. I'll check out the site you recommended. I would have more small press titles, but since I tend to buy used I don't really tend to come across them as often.

Happy cataloging to you.

Glad to see you've found a place on LibraryThing! I've been meaning to check out 100 Jolts for a while now, since I've heard a lot of good things about it. I'll have to get that one into my next Shocklines order :)

I see we're the only ones on here who have Time Famine. Have you read any other works by Olsen?

Hi Mike,
here, on your profile page, shouldn't you have one of those logos writers on LT have? Just curious.
