- About My Library
- My collection includes books that my wife owns. I have about 5,000 books, and am in the process of cataloging them, about 100 a week. My interests include public transportation (rail, buses, scheduling), travel, linguistics and languages, some fantasy and science fiction, Oulipo, religion, Episcopal church, Enneagram, mathematics, almanacs. I also collect city maps and public transport timetables.
Flash! By Memorial Day, 2007, I have now reached over 4,000 books.
Since the beginning of 2008, I have 4600 books, some of my catalog includes books withdrawn, or "library books".
I reached 5,000 entries on July 4, 2008 Imnow cycling books out of storage (and some back), but also withdrawing.
I am at 5,600+ entries from the beginning of January 2010.
