Okay, I thought I had a fairly large library (perhaps 2,000-3,000) but since I've joined LibraryThing, I realize I've got a pretty modest collection. Your collection is really interesting and reflects a pretty wide taste in books. I'm impressed.

The first type of ambiguity with shared interests is who you get to share them with. I got Zipf human behaviour and shared this with Noah as he was the only other holder, I get Empson seven types and share with you as I see you share with Noah or I think hey that photo is neat and a shared experience for me too. i only know the first type of ambiguity (I'm not a great reader, i find i think too much about what's coming next)anyhow great dress.

We share only 3 books, but I observe you have a wonderful library. If I read correctly, you own "Let's Get to the Nitty Gritty" by Horace Silver. What did you think.? [I'm in the middle of this book].

Hi, I noticed that you have "Three Ages of Woman" as one of your books. I loved her book "Some things that stay" so I tried to find some info on this other book and can not find any reviews! I don't even know what it is about. Can you give me some info??? Was it good?

Hi, I notice you have a copy of Adrienne Segur's Snow Queen. I was wondering: is your copy a 2001 reprint or the 1961 version? I ask because I want to buy myself a copy, but I think I would prefer the more recent, 2001, version and yet I can find it absolutely nowhere, not a single used book store sells it. I have begun to suspect it was never published in 2001, but perhaps only intended to be published. It's hard for me to believe there aren't any used copies out there. So I thought I'd ask those on librarything who have one which copy they have. If no one has the 2001 version, it would make the case stronger and I would just order the older copy. Thanks for your help. Sorry to go on so long....Cindy

howdy!

I was poking around with the stats and saw that we share a decent number of books, none of which play into my rpg geekery, so I added you to my interesting libraries list. It seems that we share similar tastes across a decently-sized spectrum. Most of the high ranking people I share books with are either roleplayers or star wars geeks, so I thought it'd be nice to see what someone with similar tastes has outside of those geekospheres.

Hi,
I am new here and I am still trying to get used to the idea that there are others out there who love the same books that I do...we have over 70 in common. I haven't met anyone before that liked so many of the same ones. I am pleased to meet you.

Wow. Do you seriously own 10,552 books? Can I come over to your house? :P I won't steal any... I swear. :P

Anyways, congrats on the collection!

Alright, Gina.

You finally got me. You're #1 on my "raw" list of users who share the most books with me... in fact you've been at the top since the beginning. 416 books in common to be precise, now. I've watched the numbers warily, for the last year or so I've been on here, and told myself continually to leave you a comment on how impressed I am that we share so many wonderful books. But, that seemed kind of like just giving a compliment to myself (see how my adled brain works?). So, I waited around till after you reached 400+ books we share to think of something brilliant to leave on your page.

Well, so after a long delay, here it is: "Wow". That's it. Just wow. How do you manage to buy all the books I have? Do you just check my page and see which ones I've added recently and then run right down to your local Book Shop and buy them and them to your sprawling mansion of a library? lol. I'm just being silly. Still, it IS a flattering idea to my tiny library (1800) in comparison to your gargantuan 10,550. :)

Really, I -am- impressed, and am glad to have you as my top user, and have had. :) Have a wonderful day/evening Gina, and thanks for sharing a glimpse of the lofty towers of your ethereal library with us here on LT.

Much bliss,
~PandorasRequiem~

Hi there,

I saw we share 131 books, which from my so far tiny library of 320ish is very impressive to ME. :^) I love to read, but I've only been able to enter lists I've been keeping for the past four years (since I had kids) - to help me remember what I read and when! I don't seem to hae the time to rate and review them like I would like though . . .

Wonderful catalog!

Hi ginaruiz,

I just joined LibraryThing. We share 24 books and that's a lot for me since I've only listed about 32 so far.
Hey, what's the thing about North Carolina? I only been on this site for 45 minutes and have seen 3 references from NC folks. I live in nearby Virginia.

What a great library! So far, I share more books with you than anyone else (though I've just started cataloguing my library, 1000s to go, I'm guessing). What's really funny is that up until this Jan., when I moved to NC, I lived very close to you. Let's just say, I nearly lived in Swork! Sorry I didn't meet you then (or did I?). Happy reading!

Gina,

I am envious of your Chicano/Latino books and have started scanning your reviews to determine which I might like. Any favorites among your five or four star books?
skrevet af latinobookgeek kl. 9:56 am (EST) den Apr 8, 2007

i just started loading my books and discovered that we share 275 and I haven't even loaded 2000 yet. I see we have a lot of the same cookbooks, classics like herodotus and fun stuff like Agatha Christie. I lived in Puerto Rico for two years, and learned enough spanish to read poetry in dual language books but I read the novels in translation, (being lazy about dictionaries.) Are you a librarian? I am a retired systems analyst and ex art teacher in florida for the winter. i'm sorry you live so far away. I am at the end of a long list of people with books in commmon with you. If you would like to chat, I'd be delighted. Myrna Gwin (almigwin

'The Road' began stunningly and ended that way. When I walked outside of my house after finishing it I found the sky, and the horizons touching the German fields, to be tainted with a haunting portent imbued to me by 'The Road' (you will know what I mean after you read it).

I am currently reading McCarthy's new book, 'The Road.' It is a dark, haunting vision, and the eloquence we enjoy in McCarthy's pre-'No Country for Old Men' writing is here in the new work.

I am in the process of building a bookstore website to sell these 32,000 books. But the best part is going thru the boxes and cherry picking the ones I want to keep for myself :^)

I've begun listing some at half.com ( http://shops.half.ebay.com/xenithbooksel... ) but their site is really pretty awful.

My apartment is gone, turned into nothing but boxes and boxes of books. It really is heaven...

I know. Each writer can be daunting. I was at a conference given by Prof. Angel Rosa Vélez of the Dept. of Hispanic Studies @ the Univ. of Puero Rico. And he presented
and discussed Borges and Cortazar in his book, La mosca en la botella. His "theory"
is that both Borges and Cortazar in their narratives "deny the affirmation of occidental culture while at the same time presenting an incepient philosophy in
our own narrative." There is more in the book but you get an idea of how dense
there fiction is. Siempre,

Hi Gina, my name is Joe. I am a Chef in N.Y.C. My question is how many cook books do you need for reference or recipies? I would only recomened about a dozen for any gourmet cook, who loves to cook different style foods. A working chef can use as many as he/she can afford, and dont forget the local library. I also collect many books on my ethnic background. I just cant seem to get enough material on this subject. Well enough of me, let me know whats-up with 6000+ books in your massive library :). Joe

Hi Gina -- I noticed that you have a lot of Hispanic titles listed in your catalog, and I thought you might be interested in a book I read recently and fell in love with -- it's called BURNING THE SEA by Sarah Pemberton Strong, and it's only available used on Amazon (I've never seen it in a bookstore). It's set in the Dominican Republic, and it's one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read. I highly recommend it!

Have a nice weekend!
