About my librarya lot of the books on my bookshelf are erin's, so they are tagged "erin's." i worked at the Seminary Coop Bookstore and at the Regenstein Library until last year, so i have a lot of damaged copies and unedited proofs (from the bookstore) and discarded books (from the library) that i haven't read yet. the "read" and "read parts" tags are useless because i haven't tagged everything yet.
