About meI'm about to embark on a project to catalogue on here not just all the books that I own, but all the ones I've read. My enthusiasm for this project will probably last for about two weeks.

Caveat: I will not be able to remember all the books I've ever read. I'm not sure how I'm going to go about remembering, either.

About my libraryMy collection mostly comprises detective fiction, classic fiction, contemporary fiction, history and egyptology books. And a few other odds and sods. This catalogue is primarily so I can keep count and is a work in progress.
