The Beginnings of a Library

So I've cataloged 115 books so far and am done half of one room that holds books.  Oh me oh my.  It's slow going, but that may be the fault of red wine and Sunday afternoon.  You can check out what I've catalogued so far by going to Emily's Library Page.  It has a (very inexpert and missing information) chart of my library.  I will do more research into making it a little more readable/ accurate. 

115 Books cataloged
25 Books read

When I say READ, I mean read beginning to end.  I have read excerpts of, or even most of, some of these books.  For example, I read Paradise Lost, but not Paradise Regained.  When I come along those guys, I'm going to give myself a leg up and not re-read the part I've already read. 

I should also make a slight note.  I do live with another bookaholic.  His tastes are somewhat different from mine from time to time.  For example, he owns books on Level Design for Video Games.  When I catalog these books, I'm going to put a big old N/A in the "Emily Has Read" Column.  As much as I value learning things in all walks of life, I think the chances of me making it all the way through a book on Maya (Some sort of Video Game Code, or scripting system or something) is not high.  I really don't see this as much of a cop out.

Ok, Ta for now.

ET Out
