About My Library

Every book in Your Library is one I actually own; a few are books printed out from electronic copies (noted in publication information) and books are separated in categories by Physical Books and Electronic Books.

I work carefully on Titles, Authors, Tags, Languages, Date acquired, Publication date, and usually ISBNs. The rest of the date tends to be as imported and a bit flaky.

I welcome comments on my library, including on perceived errors, though less so about the data that mentioned above as being unreliable.

I tag heavily. My top tags are pretty much self-explanatory. I use RPG and roleplaying game redundantly as synonyms. Literature (interpreted broadly) gets tagged by genre, author's nationality/culture (American literature, Arabic literature, etc.), and time of original (19th century literature, etc.). The latter is complex; recent material is labeled by century, but it wasn't very useful for pre-16th century material, which is labeled medieval literature or a small collection of poorly regulated labels. 20th & 21st century material is also labeled as pre-Elizabethan (II) literature, Elizabethan (II) literature, or Carolean (III) literature as per the reign of Queen Elizabeth the Second starting in 6 February 1952 and ending 8 September 2022. It is a slightly silly way of grouping together recent books (both Harry Potter and Dresden Files, for example, have volumes labeled 20th century literature and volumes labeled 21st century literature) and separating out the pre-WWII era material from the frequently dynamically different post-War material (not that I regard the precise line there important enough to draw the hard line there, with my whimsy leading me to extend the classic grouping by British monarchs.)
