Om mit bibliotek I'm a Londoner marooned in the dark wastes of east middle england, counting sheep and dodging bullets by turns! I feel a bit like a monk in the dark ages, guarding a trove of knowledge and art whilst all around sinks into barbarity and iniquity (I live in Nottingham).
I used to reorder my book collection for fun when I was eight, and had issued the neighbours with tickets by nine, so am clearly either or both of obssessive or autistic.

I'm being a bit selective with what I'm cataloguing because there are loads of things that I bought back when I thought it was important to read things that made my brain go curly (that I no longer give two hoots about, and probably never read anyway). I got the most important books on first, i.e. the childrens books - (well some of - there's a nearly complete Enid Blyton that I can't bring myself to list cause there's just too darn many) - and then my fave reads like Master and Margerita and Angela Carter ... and then I'm doing chunks of shelf at a time, but only in that autistic kind of way where you file things because they exist.. um.. I have to go now as my cat's staring at me funny..

Yes, I've become, first, a collector and now a completeist - I can't think how it happened. I'm trying to get a copy of all the different covers for the paperback versions and an example of the different covers for the hardback editions. As you noticed I've got all the versions for 'Camp' - until GGBP brings out their version! I do prefer the earlier stories set in Tirol and they are the ones which have most versions. The later Swiss ones often had only one hardback and one paperback edition. Although GGBP will also publish their edition at some time.

Thank you. I'm working through my collection so there is more to come. As you can see it's heavy on 'Girl's Own' literature but I was pleased to see we share an interest for Dorothy Dunnett amongst others. I first read the Lymond Chronicles as a teenager (30-odd years ago now) and was definitely regarded as slightly odd by my grammar schoolgirl peers.

Hi H.C,

It's funny you should mention Golden Gate--it's the only Vikram Seth book I've read--and other than his book about China, I not particularly tempted to read the others, but it's my favorite book to give as a gift, too.

PS I went to the University of Nottingham. I like the place!

hi HC

Bit late getting back here - but better late than never. I've barred the windows and doors since your message. And yes all things molesworthian are welcome here.

If you do have any leads on that prior subject, I forgot to leave my email address. It's hatch@adobe.com.

Hi there,
When I was in high school in the 80s I used to read science fiction stories to my younger brothers. I read to them from Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I can't find anyplace online where I can see a table of contents for that book. Do you happen to know of a web site that lists out the stories?

Thanks,
David Hatch, San Francisco

Perhaps you by now have forgotten about the comment you wrote to me but ... I wanted to reply and thank you for the positive response to my metastasized wishlist project. The other rational reaction would be to think that I am crazy. I will never buy, let alone be able to read all of the books I list. Some simple math puts the time required at two to three lifetimes. But it does allow me to quickly find a set of relavent books on a topic which interests me. For instance, I have been thinking about reading up on modern Iraian history given the current belligerence directed that way by my government and I quickly found 6 useful books which I can check out of the library. If LibraryThing allows others to make similar use of my list, so much the better. I am currently a bit disapointed by the LibraryThing search engine, so if you have perused my list for something in particular and can't find it, feel free to ask.
