Om mig Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in History at Duke University.
Om mit bibliotek Most -- but not all -- of my library has been entered. I just have a few more boxes of books I haven't read in a long, long time tucked away in a closet and some of my wife's books left. Probably less than two to three hundred that still have to be entered. I'm unenthusiastic about digging through those boxes for a few random books, so it will happen, but slowly.
Made it into the Top 500 libraries on LibraryThing -- highest rank was #191. Currently I'm hovering around #290-300. Oh well, those were heady days while they lasted. Unlike some of the other libraries here, all of the books entered are ones I actually currently own, not ones I'd like to purchase, or have read, or checked out of the library.
My library is heavily weighted toward speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and horror). I also have a fairly large collection of pulp fiction and history non-fiction, as well as a large role-playing games collection.
My wife is also adding her books into my library, so if it's a book in German, it's likely her book rather than mine, since she is also getting her Ph.D., though at UNC-Chapel Hill in German Languages and Literature. In any case, all her books are tagged with "beth."
I'm always interested in conversing with folks about books, so feel free to drop me a line if you see anything that catches your fancy in my library.
Note the addition of the new blog on blogspot: "Tales from the Bookworm's Lair." There's not a lot of content on there yet, but it will contain my book-related ramblings, primarily book reviews.

So this is how we categorized our books while unpacking and putting them on shelves.
Because we built our shelf unit, we have size issues, meaning that the height of the shelves vary and were tailored according to book size. For example,the bottom left shelf was made to primarily fit my art history books, and our records. Two shelves above that is just big enough to fit German Reclam Ausgaben, etc.
So working within the size restrictions and pretty much just unpacking as quickly as possible, we came up with pretty random categories. It's also worth mentioning that our shelving behavior was motivated more by feel than by logic. Also, note worthy is that Cyrus began shelving alphabetically by author then quickly abandoned that for a more timely method. That said, these are some random and not entirely logical (again working by feel)categories we created:
Autobiographical by education- all the books used for my thesis together, all books for Cyrus' thesis together.
Cyrus intentionally put next to each other: All the Kings Men, Machiavelli's The Prince, Communist Manifesto, History Will Absolve Me, The Political & Scientific, Animal Farm, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions and The Double Helix. --This can probably be used to analyze his personality.
We also had a worldly and unworldly section including Atlases, Star Wars books, C.S. Lewis and Tolkien. Note: Harry Potter books were put in a separate spot because they didn't fit with the rest, and they looked better elsewhere.
Then finally, we thought it appropriate to put The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich next to Michener's Poland.
So, in short, we threw books on the shelves first by size, then I think, by look (appearance of book) and feel (feel in consideration of subject matter).

Long time, no write. What have you been up to?
I'm off to the LA Times Festival of Books in a few hours to, specifically, get Joe Hill to sign my copy of "Heart-Shaped Box." Before going to the signing, I thought I'd check out his website to find out a bit about him (other than that he's Stephen King's son), and the second thing on his site's blog at http://joehillfiction.com/ is something titled "My Kung Fu is Better than Your Kung Fu." I thought it was fairly amusing. I think I'd have to pick system #1, since system #3 requires more imagination than I have and system #2 relies too much on external materials.
I went to the book festival yesterday and managed to get Jeph Loeb to sign the first 6 issues of Superman/Batman for me and I also got Steve Niles (of "30 Days of Night" fame[?]) to sign his two Cal McDonald supernatural detective books. But, the crowning achievement was getting Mike Mignola to sign "John Byrne's Next Men" #21 (the first appearance of Hellboy, doncha know). My joy was slightly tarnished when I realized I'd left my Dark Horse Comics, 4-issue Hellboy mini-series at home in the rush to get to the festival, but JBNM #21 was the main signing focus w/ Mignola, so I'm not too bummed. My body is aching in several places from moving long boxes to find the afore-mentioned comics. I had the choice of starting at one end of 40-ish boxes or the other end, and I chose the wrong end, of course. JBNM #21 was in the second to the last box, natch. Methinks some organization will be required in the future.
I've run across a couple of books that may interest you, but I don't have the time to dig out the details now, so I'll get you that info down the road.
Later,

If I may ask, what's the thrust of your studies on that splendid little war?
