About me I grew up surrounded by books and music... and being tone deaf, all my energies had to go the other way. I like to think that I read a lot, but the truth is that it comes in waves... I won't read anything for 3 months and then I'll average 500pp a day for the next 3 months. I suppose that it all evens out.
About my library I'm estimating that I have about 5,000 books in my house. I'm about halfway done indexing, anyhow. Most (well, maybe about 3,000?) are actually my parents' books that they dropped off on me when they moved abroad. So, if your question is "have you read all of these books?" my answer would have to be a resounding "no." However, between my parents, my husband, and I... I would say that yes, almost all of my books have been read by someone in my immediate family.
What belongs to who:
Me: my main interests are history, literature, gardening, crafts, and cooking.
My husband: all of the computer books and all of the more recent science books are his, as well as a bunch of fiction.
My parents: the older science books (dating from my dad's PhD), most of the fiction (all of the science fiction and mysteries), and well everything else.
Of course, it's all much more static than that. They're all in my house, after all. Yes, there are some books that I have that I'll never read, but most everything in my house is so interesting that I'd like to have a go at it at some point.

In a strange turn getting author permission for picture use on a sight, she noticed a book being incorrectly credited to her. You have this book:
The True Subject: Writers on Life and Craft (Writers on Life and Craft)
by Jan Bode Smiley
listed as such. Jan Bode Smiley asked that this be corrected to Jane Smiley (a different person all together).
Thanks!

I also don't want to be a bother, but you have Chordates 2ed, which I take to be by R. McNeill Alexander. At the moment, you have the author as just Alexander, and this book is mixed in with a lot of others which obviously have nothing to do with it: in fact I think there are at least three different authors mixed in with the name just Alexander. If you change Alexander to by R. McNeill Alexander on your copy, it will show up together with his other books on biology.

I am taking the liberty to let you know that Minds and Machines--that obscure dusty philosophy anthology--is, as you probably know, not by Poul Anderson. But I think that if a source identifies a book with only a last name for the author--i.e. "Anderson"--the program assumes that it is the most popular one. I only just noticed the mistake myself.
By the way, I enjoyed your Cannadine review on Amazon. Is there a reason that you didn't paste it to LibraryThing? I LIKE long reviews.
Cheers! I hope I am not being a bother.
