About my libraryNow that I'm adding using the CueCat all the new ones come in without tags. So the tag cloud is dominated by the shelf I began with, i.e travel, but that will change.
My idea is to include only books in the house, i.e. my library and any books I'm borrowing. It would be fun to include books I've read, but that's a different beast. For those, here's a list of all the books I've read since 1961: Prideful Booklist

This has been my summer of Elias Canetti, thanks to his remaindered 3-vol autobiography, which I ADORED. I ordered a lot of other stuff, but cannot read right through the boks that're like epigrams from a very cross and clear-thinking person. Now I am reading slowly, because it is the last of the personal books, Party in the Blitz: the English Years, and I don't want to think that there isn't any more. The link below is to an article whihc explains some of how good it is, but like any good book, it is not really susceptible to being completely described.

My nephew has a ClueCat or whatever they are called and likes it. He bought a program a couple of years ago and has his database on his laptop. He had to build a room onto his house for his books. (His father, my brother, was horrified at the lack of abstemiousness. Some of my sibs are collectors, some ascetics.) I was about to do the same, when I stumbled on LT. LT seems to be struggling a little bit less than it was several months ago, but I still wonder. . . June
