I've been cataloging my books in
Library Thing for a long time now but I'm feeling like it's a project that's never going to be finished. I have rooms of books but I only have 416 in my catalog. I'm glad to have a place to do this because it makes the neat, organized freak in me happy (and it also ensures that I won't buy another copy of a book I already own) , but it makes the person inside me who wants instant gratification very impatient. I feel like the Pope asking Michelangelo, "When will it be done?" "When it is finished." the Michelangelo in me replies to the Pope in me. Secretly I know it will never be finished because there are always new books out there, but I like to think of it as something that will one day be ended and I can say to myself, "Now I know what I have."

Yes! It's just like The Long March isn't it? I think I am up to about 550 books on Library Thing (known as anothernutter over there) and I have just vetoed the idea of adding all my husbands books - I'm running out of puff! I think I will do the girls books as well as my own but that's it! I see that you can search your Library Thing catalogue on your sidebar but I can't find what you are known as over at LT - I would love to see how many books we overlap in!
And to music - have you heard of an Australian artist called Missy Higgins? I think she would be right up your alley. She sings in a very Australian voice/accent - very heartfelt and beautiful. If you can't find a copy I would love to send you one.
It's Katya over there too. I looked at yours once too.
No, I haven't heard Missy Higgins, but I would love too -- I love hearing new music.
I keep meaning to catalog my own personal library there but never seem to get around to it.
I love it but it's as nutmeg described -- the Long March.
i am stalled at around 600...but I plan to add the boys' books and my hub's too.
have I mentioned I LOVE Radiohead too?
You actually introduced me to Radiohead -- you gave them to me for Christmas on your blog and I asked my son about them -- he had some on his computer and downloaded it to my iPod. I love them.
