About meI'm in the middle of re-tagging everything, so some books have extensive tags, and some have none.

Instead of using a "wishlist" tag, I have a wishlist account, oldliesandfireflies.

About my libraryMost of these books are in my attic bedroom, arranged by genre, author, and how often I reread them. Art books are arranged chronologically for general history or criticism, and alphabetically for monographs.

I keep changing my mind about whether I want my LibraryThing to reflect all the books I still like, or all of the books I've read, ever. It's closer to the latter, at the moment, though I can't remember a lot of the books I've borrowed from friends and libraries. The problem with this is that then most of my "similar libraries" are other people who have read the 7 Harry Potter books, 13 Lemony Snicket books, 4 Tolkien novels, 4 Alanna books, and some of the same comics. If these are the 40 books we have in common (sometimes out of 1000s!) we don't actually have much in common, and I'm not interested.

The other problem with this comes with my art books, most of which I will never "read."

Hello.
whoops! i didn't know i did that. fixed now, i hope.

i'm pretty psyched about this website.
Oooo, are you sure? People don't usually say things like that to me--it's usually more, "Ok, Emma, I've read enough now, you can stop." Feel free to peruse and let me know what you like the look of, and I'll make you a list, and we'll work it out.
Impressive library, sis! I wish we were in the same place so we could trade books more. Let me know what you think of Calvino when you read him. I'm really getting into OuLiPo lately, and I read a piece of his, "How I Wrote One of My Books." Insane! Brilliant!
Hoi,
nice tags you have.
A bit chaotic, but really sparkling. I'll keep them in mind when I make my own.
Thanks
