books books everywhere...

[hellison]

Browsing thro Amazon at lunchtime, I was going thro the 'recommendations' bit, mostly weeding out books I already have which they persist in still recommending. With some tho I was having trouble remembering whether or not I actually did own them, or even if I had ever read them (eg some of the later endless series of Krondor ones).

Also I have wanted for a long long time to get some sort of catalogue of all the books together, so the question! Does anyone here use/know of any kind of intarnet or downloadable cataloguing thing?
I've heard of a couple, but the only one I could remember the name of was Bookcrossing, which is more of a list of ones you've gotten rid of - tho may do that too, as I have at least 2 copies of some.

Mind you I have no idea when I'd find TIME to do it, but a few every night (or while at work, hence online version ;p) should get somewhere at least. It'd be nice to get some idea of what I have and possibly even stop me from adding even more for a while ;p

this is also a great fear of mine, I have so many, it would be bloody hard to produce a list after they'd all GONE

gnah, the very thought of it!

i get the sweat of fear about that - because, after all, it'd be almost fun to go and buy new clothes. the only non-book things i'd be crazed about losing are old photographs and letters and (i am so sad) the contents of my hard-drive.

but, gnn, to replace books i've had since i was a wee thing? that'd be HARD.

Losing photos would be a total disaster. And of course since these days most of them are on the hard drive, can't afford to lose that either! ANd letters?

And the BOOKS?? *curls up in a corner and cries*
