About me I adore books. And therefore I am loving LibraryThing.
My books take up seven bookcases, mostly from IKEA. Currently they're all in alphabetical order (see why I like LibraryThing? But I'm an archivist by profession so at least I have an excuse).
About my library At the last measurement, there were about 18 linear metres of them. They're not all mine - if it's in German, for example, you can assume it's my husband's. But most of them are.
My husband and I met at university, where we were studying English and Modern Languages, and our shelves reflect this, but you'll also see a lot of popular science, humour, and speculative fiction and fantasy. I think my husband would like to distance himself from the last two.
If you see something I've got that you'd like to read, or have already read, please comment. I love talking about books almost as much as I love reading them. Or go to my Livejournal - my username is the same.

4 - The tag mirror is half back as of Yesterday! You can see the tags, they just don't go anywhere when you click on them
6 - This IS possible there is a check box on your edit profile page with will let you receive emails when ever you receive a comment.
3 - a work around until such time as this is available, when you add your books as a bunch you can then go to the catalog view and sort by date added so all the recent books are at the top. Then have a view that has the tag column available. Type the tags once and copy it then just paste them into the the others.

I'm training to be a librarian in the UK - your library looks very interesting. We share 12 books! And I haven't added my discworld collection yer.
Are you an ann radcliffe fan too? I wrote about her works for my undergrad dissertation.

I am trying to read more varied books and fewer old favourites - but by the looks of things, I need to try harder!
