About meLet's see....I love books? I must own them all! I have OCD and I am a hoarder...and I hoard books...books are kinda big, they take up a lot of space. Oh, well. I work in my local library. I'm intelligent (which does not come across very well in my writing, lol) and I have a BA in History (I was one of those nerd types that actually went to college, not to acquire job skills, which is important for survival, but to acquire knowledge that is pretty much useless when looking for a job).
About my libraryI am at 5,016 books and counting. I love collecting series books and juvenile/young adult books. All of the books I have cataloged on library thing are ones that I own. (added 7/26/08)I am now also including books I've owned but sold, mostly so I don't duplicate so much:-) I was recently able to weed 1721 books from my library--I'm very proud! Of course, I've also been adding to my collection too:-)
(added 2/10/09) My current addiction is manga. Within a year I've gone from owning four to owning 140 (manga, manhwa, and world manga). I can't wait until manga becomes one of my top tags. It'll take a while, since I mostly purchase manga new (Most of the books in the rest of my book collection I have purchased used from FOL booksales at the local library.).

Reading is a wonderful escape from the worries and nonsense that fill our heads, indeed, so it's no wonder so many of us turn to books. Some OCDers follow the obsessive collection line and other live the more minimalist lifestyle, depending on the bent of our compulsions, I suppose.

By the way, I also have OCD and have noticed that a great many of us gravitate towards reading (and certainly collecting) books. Have you met many others in the same proverbial boat?

I'm just wondering...where do you keep all your books? I have about half what you have and am running out of room in my house!

you seem to have a messed up author field for Two Men in the Temple. If you make the author "Scheck, Joann" and put "Jim Roberts" in other authors, you should be able to see that a few other people also have this book: if it doesn't happen automatically, you'll be able to combine them manually.
Regards, Jim Roberts (but not that one!)
