About my libraryLooking at all of our tags, one can see that the library contains a large amount of genre fiction and science of all kinds. There is also a smattering of many other subjects as we both have an omnivorous taste in reading materials. This represents thirty-five years of collecting together and has survived numerous moves.
Ratings and reviews: These are primarily the opinion of pwh. As I have added books, I've come across a few that I wanted to say something about and so wrote a short review. If I only want to say that I think it is an excellent example of its type then it received a rating. Therefore my average rating is high but only a small number of books have received ratings at this point.

"Well, our family does that, too, of course," he said. "But our treasure is a bit different. We're librarians." ...
"Librarians," she said aloud, then grinned as she got it. "Good gods. You are Bookwyrms, aren't you?"
Gina stared at her a moment, then groaned as she got the pun. The Tradition loved puns.
"Yes, we are, " Periapt said proudly. "very much so. ... My library is cataloged and cross-cataloged and I have read every book in it at least once. I also collect all manner of information and I have created books of my own." ...
...Adamant said ..."Besides, the pure Bookwyrms need someone to defend them, right? There are always nasty Magicians trying to steal things out of the hoard."
"The library," Periapt corrected him.
"Um, yes, the library."
