Library Thing

Absolutely everyone who hasn't signed up for LibraryThing yet needs to.

It's here.

What it is is a website where you can catalog your book collection, view the libraries of others, get suggestions as to what else you'd probably enjoy, get suggestions as to what you probably wouldn't enjoy, and so on . . .

It's brilliant.

I've had a similar utility on my mac called Delicious Library, which I actually prefer in some ways, but the online component of LibraryThing cannot be overstated. It makes cataloging my library feel a bit like a game to me, honestly, like my goal is to have more books than anyone else, or a more complete catalog of my books, or better recommendations or something.

I guess my only warning would be that if you're incapable of reading, you probably wouldn't enjoy it. Otherwise, it's pretty cool.

I'm on there as "Myca."

I'm on there as Lakeofcoheeries. I'm nearly done with my personal collection, which just means that I need to start on the household books...

Recruited by the usual bad influence. Fowlor, as usual. Kind of piecemealing it all togehter, granted, I'd have to open up all the boxes in my closet to get it right.

Hey, I don't think you get to take credit for all the household books as yours, cheater.

Would it help if I "Tag" them "Mine" and "Household?"

Yeah, I'm not going to sign up until I have more books than Jade :P

Ah, sisterhood.

Still, signing up would be a good way to keep track of which of you is winning.

True, but I wouldn't let her know I have one until I was at least close.

(grumbles something nearly inaudible about "stupid sister with more money" and "unfair advantage")

You know . . .

If you killed her in her sleep, then you would be the oldest . . .

And thus in charge . . .

*Gasp*

...And I would get her room.

But that's wrong! :P

Well, here's the thing, Quin . . . if Brooke attempts to kill jade, whatever the outcome is, you benefit.

I mean, if Jade gets smothered with a pillow, then yeah, you get her room. But if she doesn't and instead awakes just in time to snap Brooke's neck ninja-style, you get Brooke's room!

Either way, you get promoted a bit, as one of your mother's children who is neither dead nor a murderer.

[info]queclecumber

December 20 2006, 00:51:13 UTC 5 years ago

True... But I don't like Brooke's room that much.

December 20 2006, 00:53:24 UTC 5 years ago

Do you like it better than sharing with Tina, though?

Oh, wait a sec . . . if you don't like sharing with Tina, I'm beginning to think of a solution. . .

[info]queclecumber

December 20 2006, 00:55:24 UTC 5 years ago

Yes... But I am usually in Jade's room anyway. And we are planning on dividing the attic at some point...

Hmm... Yes.

Well, look, I'm not suggesting murder to anyone. I want ot make myself clear.

I just think it's important to think outside the box, and sometimes the box has stuff like 'leaving your siblings alive' inside it.

[info]queclecumber

December 20 2006, 01:01:08 UTC 5 years ago

:P

Yes, that is true.

[info]russia_moore

December 20 2006, 00:53:26 UTC 5 years ago

Wait, are you suggesting I kill my sister--your girlfriend--so that I can get her books?

(scoffs)

[info]ramik

December 20 2006, 00:57:39 UTC 5 years ago

No, no, no, I'm suggesting no such thing. I have every confidence that Jade would be victorious in defending against any assassination attempt.

[info]russia_moore

December 20 2006, 01:14:40 UTC 5 years ago

That depends on the attempt...

[info]ramik

December 20 2006, 01:17:33 UTC 5 years ago

Honestly, I think you're too scared to try to kill her and steal her books.

What are you, chicken?

Bawk, bawk, bawk . . .
