About meJust a guy in need of more bookshelves.

About my libraryA 'jclc' tag denotes a library loan. I only catalog loans, if I have read and reviewed the book. All the other titles are ours and crammed in corners, weighing down shelves or stacked and serving as bedside tables.

I am answering the question about the ephemera on my Kindle. I read an unconscionable amount of purely recreational trash: mystery, fantasy and science fiction series that take up more physical space than they earn in relative value. Some range between quite and very good, other are very nearly genuinely dreadful. They are my drinks after work, if you will. That's my ephemera.

I like to keep current with and maintain complete series but I am out of space on the shelves that I own and am teetering on the edge of claustrophobia due to lack of clear wall space. In theory, I am a aesthestic minimalist. I would like to eliminate the hard copies of some of the trivia and use the space for the stuff I am going to read hard and put away annotated.

I am just, just beginning to make the transition from snail mail delivery to e-magazines. So far, I pull them all down from Amazon. I may try to get creative later.

I have started posting my Kindle fiction to LT in its own collection. What I would like from Amazon is a more robust dictionary option. I will suggest it.

I suspect my answer is less interesting than you were hoping.
