LibraryThing for the English Major

Well, this was a fun activity for a reader and lover of books. I enjoyed seeing how many other people had entered the same book in their LibraryThing account. And, I was surprised to discover that my book collection was much smaller than I had remembered. I only entered 20, but I thought I would be stumbling over books to add. The last time I moved, it seemed like I would never finish lugging heavy boxes of books from place to place. It turns out I have given away many of them and, since I worked in a public library for many years, I just stopped buying and borrowed instead. Lots of classics from English literature appeared, of course, because my wife and I were both English majors in college and just couldn't part with the remnants of our literature courses. In fact, we just recently decided to cull the many duplicates from our dusty stacks. I mean, really, who needs two copies of Middlemarch? See my LibraryThing entries at
