About meI love reading, though I suppose that's a prerequisite for this site. Despite efforts to clear the floor next to my bed by putting shelves there, the books continue to pile up on the floor. All of my bookshelves are full. I especially love reading novels. My interest in nonfiction waxes and wains. As you can see below, I read a lot of books at the same time. I do actually finish them eventually...

Some of my all-time favorites:
About my libraryMy books are scattered between two offices and various rooms in my home, and they are not in any particular order. I know where to find each of them though. I am however running out of shelf space. I actually got rid of some books a few months ago, but now I'm trying to figure out if I could get bigger cases to hold more books in our already existing space...
I've bought these books over the years, new and used, at book sales, at book stores big and small, here and abroad, at garage sales, online. Some were gifts, most are books I bought myself. I'm slowly but surely inputting all my books into LibraryThing, plus all my maps, plus I just found out you can put in CDs as well. I've finished inputting all the books in the house (well, except for cookbooks and lots of kids books), but still have tons of books at work to do one of these days...
Over the past ten years I've sporadically kept track of what I was reading, for those books I kept track of, I've included when I read them: {read in 1998-99} (referring to Sep 1998 - Aug 1999); or for the past year or so, {read in 2006}. But except for those books going forward, these tags are not complete.
I own almost all of the items I've listed here; for my own benefit I am also including some books that I have read but do not own (tagged {library}). Books tagged {friend} were written by friends of mine. (Note: I use {} to tag so these tags show up at the end of my tag list and tag cloud, "{" coming after lower-case z in the ascii coding.)

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked Butcher Boy, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also about a disturbed adolescent and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

Go into Edit my profile and add two things: the url of the works page, and the source url of the image of the cover. To get that, I just right-click on the cover image in the works page and "copy image location".
Here's an example:
Currently reading: <br>
<a href="http://www.librarything.com/work/6460"><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/081296..." ></a>
You should make sure you leave a space between the </a> of one book and the <br><a href of the next.

javascript:combineTags('louisiana','loui...
Obviously, replace the tag names as appropriate. An easy way to do this is to right-click one of the suggested "combine" links, copy it to the clipboard, and then paste into the URL bar.
Note 1: The suggested "combine" links will give you a link like this:
javascript:combineTags('louisiana','loui... and louisana')
The 'louisiana and louisana' part only affects the message asking you to confirm the combination, so it doesn't matter what it contains, or whether it's there.
Note 2: If X and Y have already been combined into Z, and you want to combine M with them, make sure you combine M and Z, not M and X or M and Y.
