In the last year or so I have given away stacks and boxes of books several times, reducing my library to somewhere near 1,500 volumes. I may have acquired a couple dozen in the same time.

In that estimate and in what I usually call "my library" I'm now including my wife's collection. Her books are fewer in number but complementary especially in literature, linguistics, philosophy, and mathematics. For a while we shelved them separately but after a few moves and a few years ... :)

By the time our library is my LibraryThing, you might see 1,000 entries. BG
Well now, just a few thousand entries left to go <g>.

Part of Library Thing to me is that I'm considering giving most of my books away. My wife has encouraged me to shed the dead trees for a few years now, to find a school they'd help and donate them. My decision depends in part on whether Google Book Search, Amazon Online Reader, et al. can cover the use I make of most.

After spending some time with the friendly old fire hazards and this site, I'll know better if I can let mine go and prospective beneficiaries will know better if they're interested. BG
