i hate all libraries
don't you? due dates, the overpowering smell of books, fines, those library demon-people who give you the evil eye if you breathe too loud, recalls, lost books, books shelved in the wrong place...
with that said, i've decided i could benefit from organizing & building my personal library. and i found this website, librarything.com, where i am currently working on cataloging books that i have read and books that i own. and it's pretty fun. i've got 129 books on the list so far, i own most of them, and they are all books that i have chosen to read. (the majority are my leisure reads; the ones that were school related - well, i chose to read them, cuz there were certainly a lot of school related books that i chose not to read. [ahem, st. augustine, adam smith, fyodor dostoevsky...yeah, yeah, i should have, i know...])
and it's got pictures of the covers! check it out my lil library here:

and here is my author cloud as of today - the bigger the author's name, the more books by him or her that i've read
