That Library Thing
You may notice a little dialogue box to the left with the words "See my books" on it. I've just been having a look at Librarything again, and it seems better than when I first came across it. A chance to catalogue your collection online. I've not done that, not all of it, not yet! But who knows, over time...type Kathy Acker or William Burroughs in the box, for now, and get a sense of what it can do. Neat. I think. Amazing how many books I've got that nobody else has (type in: Icelandic.)
