Om meg Together we've been buying books for 39 years -- and the collection goes back further as it includes Ellen's college books and books she took from her parents' house. We've built our lives out of our shared worlds of books. "Our books, dear Book Browser, are a comfort, a presence, a diary of our lives. What more can we say?" (Carol Shields, _Swann_).
Om biblioteket mitt While Ellen is a literary historian-scholar, writer, and college teacher who reads French and Italian, and has created for herself a working library, she loves and buys art books for the sheer pleasure of looking at and reading them. Ellen has written and published a book about her experiences in cyberspace reading Anthony Trollope with other people: _Trollope on the Net_. (The reader will find many books on Trollope in the catalogue and online essays on cyberspace linked into her homepage.) Jim is a mathematician turned computer scientist who now also teaches. He loves music and we have many music books; the science, math, philosophy and more historical sections of our library were bought by him. We both love and buy poetry, books of letters, memoirs, biography, and travel books. "La bibliothèque devient une aventure" (Umberto Eco quoted by Chantal Thomas, _Souffrir_).

Finally I've logged my Trollope books onto librarything.com. They are mostly in Maine where we go in the summer (this year til November 1st!). I bogged down with cataloging books last fall so have about half of what I own done in MA but I've made a start on Maine (maybe about a tenth). It is fun to remember what I have read and to marvel over all the books I own that I mean to read. Right now, I'm re-reading War and Peace, in large part because one of my students from a long time ago wrote Soldier's Heart: Teaching Humanities at West Point (Elizabeth Samet) which got a full page, rave review from Robert Pinsky in the NYTimes Book Review last fall. At any rate, she writes about Grant's memoirs and War and Peace so i decided that even though I have shelves of books from the here and now to read, i would go back to Tolstoy in the new edition.
How are you and Jim?
I think of you whenever I see my Trollope books.

I just entered the "Critical Companion to Jane Austen" to my library and noticed that you too not only have it, but are an Austen lover. The recent Public Television series
"The Complete Jane Austen" made me want to know more about "Adaptations" from Austen.
You not only have more books by and about Austen but are also more knowledgeable than I am. I would be most grateful if you could let me know if there were any film adaptations of Austen (especially "Pride & Prejudice") before the 1940 MGM version.
I also love Trollope. Though I live in the "center" of NY City and actively partake of
all it has to offer, I still find that there is nothing better than occaisionaly stay
home and re-read Austen or Trollpe!

It doesn't surprise me that we share at least a few books, since some I heard about via your Yahoo!Group EighteenthCenturyWorlds. Delphine, for example, I only ordered and purchsed because I was planning to participate in the group read for it. The best laid plans gang aft agley, though, and as I mentioned in my profile I'm in 3 face-to-face book groups and a writing group. Sometimes I very much feel like I'm spinning plates.
Thanks also for participating in LibraryThing and further enabling my little addiction.
Your book-codependent LibraryThing friend,

Years ago at a conference I was spending time with John Buxton Hilton, the British writer of mysteries. The talk got around to favourite writers and Hilton said his very most favourite was Anthony Trollop. I was determined to persue a study of AT, bought a book or two and then was distracted until now. I have ordered your book. Perhaps the others will show up as I catalog and classify away. Another of the wonderous benefits of LT.
BTW, I have not been successful at listing my Favourite Authors. What is the secret?
Ahhaa, THE PALLISERS has emerged, purchased 23 Feb 1983, unread until now.

"It's not true to say that only bad books make the bestseller list. But it is a little bit true, and it is always the case that bad books greatly outnumber good ones at the top end of the charts. Sometimes, too, you come across an example of pure negative correlation between the quality of a book and the level of its sales."

Jim loves music, and although our collection cannot match yours, it's inspiriting to see another music lover on Library Thing.
Unfortunately, he did not tag the books he has music, and since the search engine works erratically or not at all, his two long rows of music books (and piles on the piano and on a table in the front room, including many scores) are sometimes hard to find even when you put the composer's name in the search engine.

Jim and I have done. "Five months to the day." He started September 11, 2005, and we finished February 11, 2006.
He did say as a qualification that we are not really done as it's "Of course as additional books come in we'll add them." We may hope it'll be never quite done. It has been a long journey through past time and (for me who write this) many projects and cherished experiences. We have bought a few new bookcases and rearranged and our library somewhat, re-alphabetized and put things in order once again.
Our goal was to know how many books we had, to reacquaint ourselves with many of them, to rearrange, and to use the Library Thing software to find books when we want to. The Search engine for this central purpose needs improvement. As to all the extra numbers and software Tim provides I have found intelligible or meaningful only the statistics about in what years the books we have were published ("fun statistics") and the citations of how many books appeared in this or that library.
I should say one of the delights of Library Thing has been the socializing that has occurred. I've renewed a couple of old friendships, enabled my daughter to renew one (through someone who found our library in cyberspace and who has some of the same books and now knows she has bought the same car my older daughter did -- a Saturn SC1), and met new friends who have joined me on lists or respond to our blog or here.

Libraries no more resemble one another than our minds do one another's.

I'm an Austenite. I was commissioned to write a book to be called _JA and Bath_. I discovered what was wanted was a coffee table book. I also don't have the money or time (the same thing Ben said) to live in Bath which would be required to write a really solid book to replace the others, which are superficial mostly.
So I put the two chapters I did on the Net. I did publish an essay-review on a much praised book on Bath. My review was published in an 18th century periodical.
So the Bath books are an extension of the Austen library.
For the stuff I wrote:
