Sobre mimUs, rather: LTG and Skippy, just simple city folks

Sobre a minha bibliotecaHow did this happen? Well, with a library this size you know that we didn't buy much at full price! Library, college, and AAUW book sales are the biggest source. There's a lot here from bargain remainder booksellers. There's also a steady drip of acquisitions from second hand bookstores.

There are two collections here as much as one. Individually our interests are eclectic; together they do look all over the map.

LTG is responsible for most of our art, science, religion, and contemporary literature collections(but not Calvino or Kundera!).

Skippy has brought in most of the philosophy, poetry, literary criticism, and social science books.

We share credit (or blame) for the history collection.

Hello again,

I said I'd make it an annual tradition to stop by. The third anniversary of my first message here was two days ago. You're still at the top of our weighted list of libraries with our books. Chuck_ralston pulled away by two in the raw total. We still seem to be about twentieth on your weighted list.

You've been adding a lot of "how to" art books recently. Is this a recent interest or have you been doing art for a while?

Have a good summer,
John
Hello,

It's good to finally meet, in the virtual sense of course.

Yes, I picked up the Blumenberg when I was in Germany some 30 years ago. I've always had a strong interest in the theme of transition from the medieval to the modern. I was a bit surprised that the book got translated into English though.

I see that we're now up to about twentieth on your list of members with your books. I think we may have risen up a little higher than that at some point. I just find it fascinating that through all of the permutations of both of our libraries, you've managed to stay at the top of our list of members with our books. In fact, you are currently at the top of both our weighted and raw total lists. I've seen your library at the top of a lot of other people's weighted lists as well. That is probably because you have a comparatively "pure" educated layman/academic collection (as pure as any collection of 4600 books is likely to be). We've got all kinds of side collections (baseball books here, our childrens' books there) that make us less aligned with more focused collections.
Thanks for the recommends, will pick them up next time i get to a library.

What is your blog site? i tried various versions of deletantscholar.blogspot.com but didn't get anything :(

Give my best to Lawanna. :)

Hope you had a safe flight. I look forward to seeing you again. Will write an e-mail when i get a chance sometime.

Hello again,

Another year gone by. Time flies. I think I'll make it an annual tradition to stop by.

It looks as if you've been adding quite a few books recently. You still come out at the top of our list of members with our books. It looks like we still come out about fiftieth on your list. We may be adding a lot of books again soon. I'll be interested to see whether that affects either of our standings relative to the others.
Nice catalog you have there. I just joined LT the other day, and have only entered a few of my books, but it seems that many of the ones I've cataloged so far are common to your library as well. It looks like we have pretty similar interests as far as books go...Philosophy, ancient history, western civilization, etc. I'm going to keep an eye on your collection as I get the rest of my 2000 books onto the system to see if our similarities continue. Good luck in the new year!
Nice collection, especially in ancient history. I was just wondering where the photo was taken. Rome? An old graveyard? I'm still plugging along at entering my own library. Several boxes of classical studies and ancient history, among other things, yet to go. I'll be interested in seeing how many books we ultimately share.
I see that it's been nearly a year since I stopped by. At that point, we had entered about 2000 of our books and you came out first on our list of members with our books. Since then, LT has switched to weighted average for the default setting of members with our books and, as I predicted, you are back at number one again, even though we now have almost 5300 books entered. Actually, until just this week, another library which closely matched our collection of baseball books was in first place. I don't quite know what happened to get you back in front. Still, yours is definitely the collection that comes closest to our core stuff.

We share 98 works. Not many, considering the size of your library, but pointing at least to some similar interests. Well, I'll keep an eye on your library (a good one, if I may say so).
Hi. Thought it was time to stop by after spending a fair amount of time making random observations at my own place.

You may not have noticed us since we're kind of far down on your list of common users, but you've been at the top of our list since we got to 500 books entered. We're about half way done with entering our books, so the really big libraries like ellenandjim may eventually surpass you in raw total. But since we started with the core of our collection, I think you will take the crown as most similar collection.

Best wishes
Hi, I see we're the only ones with Hammond's "The Classical Age of Greece". I think I might have read some of it at school, but that was a long time ago :-). I saw it going for half-price in a local bookshop's closing down sale a couple of weeks ago and snatched it up, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet.
