About my libraryjust getting started, boy is this tedious. fits and starts. How quickly it goes will probably be determined by how obsessive I'm feeling.

I haven't updated my collection in a while, and a few new books. Some of them are ebook editions. I've been marking those with kindle.

Hi,

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,

I've had a kindle for a few months now and it would be nice to be able to extract the list of books on it to dump to librarything.

I have a UK hardback editions of a couple of books, but I'm not sure about the Egan -- I just started importing things, and this first batch is an automatic import from what I was able to get from my listal account. I only put 46 books into that one because I found the exercise to be tedious, and because I tried to use results from searches, I am sure the ISBN numbers need cleaning up.

I have a scanner from a friend now, so I started playing with that last night. A lot of my books do not have barcodes. I don't know how long my resolve will last to enter in my entire library. It's fun though.

...My library is less cool now that I've moved. I got rid of as many books as possible.

Hrrrm, looks like you've got all UK editions of your Egan, which is why we're not overlapping. I used to have a UK trade edi of 'Distress' and I've no longer any idea what became of it.
