Cataloging

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."
