About me I currently live in Cambridgeshire and work in a library. I am one year into a distance learning course in library studies and am very interested in the social sharing of data and its effects on library cataloguing policies. I am passionate about uniting a library user with their required relevant information. I find history and literature a constant fascination and am currently interested in learning and outreach.
I listen to music and enjoy going to gigs, I find creative writing extremely therapeutic and I read widely in order to broaden my mind and escape into other worlds.
I like to travel and experience different cultures. I enjoy contemplating folklore and our explanations for the mysteries of the Universe
I like cats, and schnauzers, and it is my aim to someday provide a home for one. Other than all that, I like watching Dr Who and Buffy, trashy tv, good red wine, talking with my husband and my friends, and generally questioning the universe.
About my library Contrary to my original statement of only cataloguing books that I read or buy from now on, I have now decided to catalogue my entire library. Well, I've done 135 books so far and that is just one bookcase! As for the contents, I am entering everything that I own and any books that I borrow from now onwards. It's quite an eclectic mix of stuff, none of which I can bear to weed!

I'd be interested in seeing your paper if it's something you can share...
Good luck!

I bought it, I think, after hearing that a rather obscure French book that I love is based on it (Jacques le Fataliste et son Maitre). I may possibly have been influenced, also, by Harriet reading it on the beach at the start of Have His Carcase...
Then I didn't get around to reading it for about five years. Finally I went to see the film A Cock and Bull Story, loved it, decided I'd been procrastinating long enough - and blasted through the book in two days. It's near the top of my list of "classics that don't count as classics because they are too much fun".
And if you're only just discovering Sayers - I envy you! I ran out of unread ones a few years back, but am finding Lois McMaster Bujold is fitting the same sort of mental slot (only with spaceships).

Saw your post about reading Busman's Honeymoon. Here's the comment I put on the What You're Reading page:
#119 - mrsradcliffe Busman's Honeymoon: A Love Story with Detective Interruptions is one of my favorite Sayers. It is actually the culmination of several books with Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane and you might want to consider reading the first meeting of the two first: Strong Poison. I forget the order after that, but there are several with both of them together and at least one with just Peter Wimsey with references to Harriet Vane.
I envy you discovering Dorothy Sayers and having all her wonderful books ahead of you!

You're another distance learner! I don't know how far in you are, but I'm sorry to say I find cataloguing on LT to be excellent displacement activity from writing essays on collection policy (or what have you...) I cannot bear to throw books away either, and as a result I have to reshelve them all every couple of months. I've got to stop buying them... but how can I?
From a brief look at what you've got, I think we will share more books once I do my next bout of uploading!
