I have just discovered LibraryThing ...

...And now I want a paid membership. They're only $25 for life, with unlimited books (which is why I want it), but no way in hell am I paying for something as frivolous as an unlimited online catalog of my books while I don't have a regular job. Sigh. You can see my catalog here. (Keep in mind this is only the books I have here at school--I have two bookcases full at home. And this isn't all the books I have at seminary--I have a box of old hymnals and sunday-school drama books up in the storage room.)

(Why, yes, I am a geek, how did you guess?)

Hey Beatrice- you should have received an email to your LJ address from LibraryThing a couple of weeks ago- did it arrive? If not, please let me know and I'll follow up with them.

(And *thank you again* for telling me about them.. I'm 1782 books up and should have the whole library in before the end of October. They're awesome!)

Nope, haven't received anything from them. And yes, they are so awesome. I tried keeping an excel spreadsheet of my books for a while back in college (when you've got your library in two places half a continent apart, it's kind of necessary) but it was such a hassle to type everything in that I gave up on it. Just typing in an ISBN number (or, here at seminary, borrowing a friend's barcode scanner) is so much easier!
