Om mig I'm a wage slave in the Head Office of the corporate behemoth that is Tesco, the UK supermarket where every little helps, apparently. Born, raised and resident in north London, I'm the holder of a degree in American Studies, which explains the bias of my library. I live alone with my groaning bookshelves and a similarly large number of CDs, waiting for the day the latter turn into silver beermats. I also follow cricket (Middlesex are my team), go to gigs, theatre and cinema as much as my bank balance will allow, kid myself I'm a wine connoisseur rather than a drunk and spend the gaps between London book shop visits in the city's art galleries and museums.

Om mit bibliotek The scary thing about this list is how big my "To Be Read" pile is - about 8-10 years' worth at the speed I read. Not all these books are still on the shelf; the list tries to capture everything I've read, even if it has then gone to the charity shop, as well as what I have on the shelves to read. The biases are towards the USA, literary fiction, crime, politics, science fiction and cricket.

Pretty much everything except jazz tbh. Same with book really, pretty much everything except romantic fiction.

Hi Graham, just caught up this morning with LT and glad to see your comment. My 'library' as catalogued might be more interesting if I'd entered all the books I borrow from the library as that is where I get the majority of my modern fiction reading from.

P.S. Couldn't help bursting out laughing at that TBR pile!

skrevet af hazelk kl. 3:34 am (EST) den May 14, 2008

hi there grammath! I just added you to my interesting libraries. we share 137 books and many of them are among my favorites! so I'll be looking in on your library for tips on what to read, if you don't mind;)

It's lovely when you find a great site, my online reading group has just re-established itself on a new forum - have you ever been on www.thereadinggrouponline.co.uk? I love it, it's my second home! Many of us have met up in real life and we simply have a blast! A lot of real friends.

Do you still go on there Graham?

skrevet af SmithSJ01 kl. 1:46 pm (EST) den Apr 22, 2008

Hi Graham

If BGO is the one I'm thinking about, then I joined very briefly but didn't continue posting. Could that be the one?

Going to have a browse through your library.

I'm laughing until I cry over your TBR comment. I think I have about 14 years worth of reading waiting for me here. It's both a pleasing and a distressing idea!

Just wanted to say hello and thank you for adding my library to your interestings list. We share quite a lot of books already so I'm just about to take a look at your library and see if you have something I might like but haven't read yet.

I've seen from your other comments that someone has recommended Haruki Murakami to you. I have just bought a book of his short stories, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, and am going to start it tonight, having just finished Stephen King's Duma Key. I'll try to let you know how I get on with the Murakami if you like. It will be the first book of his that I have read.

Thanks again for stopping by my library, hope to chat to you soon. Take care, Jody

Hi Graham

My Murakami expert suggests The Elephant Vanishes is the best short story collection to kick off with.

Enjoy the Perlman and let me know what you think.

Thanks for the Artemus Fowl recommendation :-) Actually, I think my son owns this book so it will be easy enough to get a hold of. I'll have to grab it from him once I've gotten my TBR pile down to a reasonable level.

Hi, I liked your review of Michel Faber's Under the Skin, it entirely concurs with my view of what I think is an amazing book. If you look at my library don't pay too much attention to the bias towards 3 or 4 authors, its under construction, and I'm putting in those people I have most of, I do read much, much more! However, I note that even at this early stage we share this thing of Darkness as well as Michel Faber, what did you think of that? Paul.

Hi grammath. Hope you don't mind that I added you to my "interesting libraries" list.

Good reading to ya!

That was quick! And very clever of you indeed! Sorry I neglected to add the Dumpling bit when I sent you the message. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying LT. I also noticed yesterday that we happened to both have exactly 1313 books catalogued! Until today that is ... I managed to pick up yet another so am now at 1314, and I see you've added a few more as well.

I think I recognise the name from BGO! Welcome to LT! :)

Hiya. I'll be watching you too!

skrevet af LizzySiddal kl. 11:45 am (EST) den Dec 7, 2007

Well, we seem to have a similar attempt to collect everything Terry Pratchett has written and your unread stack makes me feel much better about my unread stack! I admire your dedication in getting everything catalogued. I think that I'm only about a fifth of the way through so far - I'll get there eventually!

skrevet af archerygirl kl. 8:17 am (EST) den Nov 11, 2007

Hi Graham - thanks for making conact, we share some good stuff and I'm sure I'll find some great other titles in your library to add to my 'not read yet' mountain. I was hoping that joining 'Read It Swap It' might cure me, but it can't beat a real browsing experience - even in the bestsellers at Tesco!
Cheers

When I was little, my Mum's bookshelves were groaning with old Penguin editions and I am a little bit obsessed with them I guess! Saw the modern versions of old Penguin classics in Borders the other day and had to buy a few.
Interesting library by the way.

skrevet af hannahmck kl. 6:13 am (EST) den Oct 6, 2007

Hi again, I think maybe "No News at Throat Lake" might have done it for me, but you are obviously also a fan of Ian McEwan and Nick Hornby, and simply that we share 47 books which is quite a lot. For someone who has only been around a few days, you have managed to catalogue a helleva lot of books. Well done.
