About meGeek, DJ, Once & Future Economist
I joined LibraryThing for the chicks.
About my libraryI've managed to catalog almost all my books--at least, the ones made out of paper--with the exception of music scores, a few books in the attic, and two boxes full of the Harvard Classics series. I'm currently trying to get rid of some books in preparation for moving in the next couple of years, but I've reached the point where it's difficult to let go of more.
Special tags I'm using:
"forsale" (make me an offer),
"____ library" (borrowed from ____ library),
"nae" ("not actual edition"),
"blewmymind" (books that gave my head a good shake at some point in my life), and
"BOX1"-"BOX8" (no room for these on the shelves).
Yes, I have that many books in progress at one time (sometimes for years); I like to nibble on a large buffet of books, and sometimes I just get stalled at some point. Fiction and poetry I tend to zoom right through, though.

If I ever teach Micro again - I usually teach Macro, only Micro when we have a gap in the teaching line-up - my plan is use a standard text like Tucker, Lipsey-Ragan-Storer, etc., and maybe supplement it with one of the cute new ones that have come out lately: Sex, Drugs, and Economics, Naked Economics, Economics for Life.
In my experience, students know when they’re being patronized, so my idea is to use this “pop” stuff sparingly and only when it buttresses the “real” material.
