About meb.1978. Working and living in a students bookshop in Bergen, Norway. Married, three kids, so I don't get to read as much as I would like. I read on the bus to/from work. Or listen to audiobooks if I walk/jogg/run home from work.

I have reading rules, which are flexible, so its more guidelines:
- read the earliest work/title of a new author if possible
- read the earliest work/titel of a new author from 1001 books first.
- read series in order. (Have to start with the first book in a series always, and can not skip a book in a series. I have to wait with that series until I can get hold of the next book.)
- If I've started a book (fictin) I have to finish it before I can start a new book of same category (crime, or historical fiction or 1001 books, see 999 reading challenge.)
- If I have started a non-fiction book, I don't have to finish it. I might pick it up later. Who knows.

About my library

Started writing a list off all the books I read when I was a kid in a journal.

The list contains the books I have read, not necessarily the books I own, even though I do own most of the listed ones. But a few might be library books, borrowed or book crossing books. All dates 1 Jan 1990 means that I don't really know the finished reading date, but it is childrens fiction, so 1 Jan 1990 is a good guess, but between 1987 and 1992 somewhere is a wider circle for when it was read.

HOWEVER! With collections this is no longer a problem!

Your library - consists of books I actually own.

Have read - the most interesting collection! What books have I read?

Read but unowned - is books I have read, but comes from the library or that I have borrowed from someone else, bookcrossing, librivox etc.

To read - Books that are on my reading list. whether I own them or not. I plan to read them.

Wishlist - Books I would like to own/have. (If I will ever read them has got nothing to do with it.) Why no fiction on the wishlist? Because I have so many unread books on my shelves to be read still...

Favorites - Have made it inactive.

Fanzines - This is for all my fanzines. As of today, only football (soccer) fanzines.

I only tag the books I've read. This might change when I've finished entering all the books I have...
