I LOVE librarything -- Rather than keeping a complete inventory of my endless book collection, however, I started keeping track of everything I read from last fall onward.
I confess I love to stare at my bookshelf. *G* If you join, I'd love to friend you!
Aw, man, brilliant! I would love to have one of those puppies. I have rooms full of books, and no idea what I've really got except for those I re-read frequently!
No, but if it had a barcode scanner I totally would. I still might, but it wouold be a project of months to get all my books entered, probably. What the hell - I think I will join. Same username as here.
I figured the worst part is going to be dragging all the books over to be scanned. I assume it has to stay plugged in via USB while scanning? At least it will give me a good opportunity to go through them all again, maybe find some more to get rid of. And I will get great exercise lugging stacks of books up and down stairs.
I signed up and started by adding all of the books you and I have in common (which is 35 books!). Now I want to add the rest of mine in to see how many I have. I think the barcode scanner would be handy. Where did you get yours?

:-)
As I'm home on disability for another few weeks, I might as well while my time away doing something vaguely useful.

I spent all day doing it, I'm up to 851 books entered. I cleared out my spare bedroom of books, now I have to start on the rest of the house. :-)

I did work up a sweat, though.

$15 with shipping, I highly recommend it.
