Über michJust a typical polymath.



Feel free to leave comments if you notice any errors in my catalog. :)

Über meine BibliothekA room without books is like a body without a soul. - Cicero
(What? You don't have books in your bathroom?)
A truly great library contains something in it to offend everyone. - Jo Godwin
(And once I get everything up here...)

"'What shall I do with all my books?' was the question, and the answer, 'Read them,' sobered the questioner. But if you cannot read them, at the very least handle them and, as it were, fondle them. Peer into them. Let them fall open as they will. Read on from the first sentence that turns the eye. Then turn to another. Make a voyage of discovery, taking soundings of uncharted seas. Set them back on their shelves with your own hands. Arrange them on your own plan, so that if you do not know what is in them, you at least know where they are. If they cannot be your friends, let them at any rate be your acquaintances. If they cannot enter the circle of your life, do not deny them at least a nod of recognition."
(Winston S. Churchill, Amid These Storms)

Have a cookie. They're tasty. Watch the crumbs around the books though.

Do you like tags? I like tags. I like shelves too.

Genre (Partial): Fiction, Nonfiction, Education, History, Classics, Survival, Fantasy, Science Fantasy, Science Fiction, Science, Travel, Space Travel, Time Travel, Supernatural, Shapeshifters, Size.

Division Rules (expanded from PortiaLong's version)
I'm not bothering to include most anthologies and collections until the multi-author system arrives, if not subworks too... And don't even get me started on translators.

*Anthology : group of short works by different authors - author listed as "(Editor), Last First"
[example: Tomorrow, The Stars by Heinlein Robert A. (Editor)]

*Collection : group of short works by ONE author
[example: Expanded Universe by Robert A. Heinlein]

*Version: Familiar stories in various forms (Aladdin, Tam Lin, Beauty and the Beast), hence versions. These stories are often, but not always, fairy tales. Sometimes they've just been Disneyfied instead.

*Series: This is obvious. Sometimes it's even an omnibus.

*Omnibus : group of longer works, which are also published separately
[example: A Heinlein Trio by Robert A. Heinlein]

*Inclusion (none yet): Smaller work included in larger (Anthology / Collection / Omnibus)
[example: The Puppet Masters by Robert A. Heinlein]

*Also in: Smaller work published separately, when it's also included in a larger (Anthology / Collection / Omnibus).
[example: The Little Lame Prince by Dinah Marie Craik]

*Watchlist: Books I want to read (and don't own). Owning will be decided after reading.

*Wishlist: Books I want to own (and have usually read).
