For this winter's solstice I treated myself to a paid LibraryThing account. I now have nearly a third of my books listed and I'm still rather exhausted. Wish that I'd been willing to splurge on a nice barcode scanner, though I wonder how I will get through the older, more obscure section of my book collection that lists no ISBNs, SBNs, LC numbers...manual entries are such a pain. There's this sense of discovery that comes with cataloguing books, especially when you can suddenly come up with tags for a work that you never thought for it before.

Thinking of leaving all my books behind when I go to college is tear-worthy. That's why I need LT: I'll at least be able to get on the computer and semi-view my books from a distance, though not being able to touch them will be such a killer. I'm getting frustrated right now just because my books will be packed away from me for a couple of days while being moved to my aunt's place. They're not here with me and it kills me. How, oh how, can I possibly get through not living with them?
