Om migI'm a mother, wife, grandmother, and retired math teacher.
I literally cannot remember not being able to read! I remember when my grandfather DISCOVERED it--I was not quite four. I had been read to all my life, mostly on his lap with a finger following as he read. When I started correcting him, he at first thought I had memorized the story but realized soon that I could simply read--anything. Got my first library card at 4! Thought I wanted to BE a librarian until I found out they really don't sit around and read all the time.
Oddly enough, I was nearly seven when I learned that there was an order to the letters! Asking a librarian how she could find books I asked for so quickly, I learned there was such a thing as "alphabetical order." (P.S. I had never heard the ABC song.)
Everyone who knows me knows I love to read. I have found I can read while riding (not driving) in a car,washing dishes, walking, etc. Since the age of 13, I have averaged reading a book a day. At first I documented them, but I decided I could better use that time READING. I try to discipline myself to intersperse fiction, nonfiction, mind candy (SF, mysteries, suspense) with books that challenge me spiritually and/or intellectually.

Om mitt bibliotekSince 1985, when my husband died, books have sort of taken over my house. (My current husband is very tolerant, PTL.)
I have just begun to enter my library--I keep finding books I want to reread or a few I haven't read yet. I have also discovered a thrift store that sells paperbacks for a dime and hardcovers for a quarter so it keeps expanding.

Hi, I just joined this site. I noticed that you're a Da Vinci Code fan. Have you read Synarchy? Here's a link: www.synarchynovel.com/
Hi Sis.. Found your profile.. Nothing on mine yet but may attempt someday.. Do comic books count.. ?
Love talk to ya soon.

Myron
Sorry for the delay in responding, Robert. Also I regret to have to report that I am not your old acquaintance from Texas.

Thanks for the compliment on the library. I am approximately half finished cataloging. It seems to be taking forever.

Larry Fitzwater
Hi,
I corrected the title of the Robert Schuller book you pointed out as listed incorrectly. Thanks for picking that up. All the best.

Hi! I see that we share 20 books, including "The Golden Ring" by John Snyder. I received a signed copy for Christmas and was curious who else had it in their collections. This story is written about my grandmother's hometown, which rivals a postage stamp in size! I was so surprised to hear that you had the book, too! I am so pleased to meet fellow bibliophiles. Take care and happy reading! Sincerely ~ Tiffany
Just wanted to let you know I found your profile after reading your review of Karen Mains' Making Sunday Special--what nice, memoir-style comments! I'm glad you enjoyed it. By the number of comments you have received, it is clear that your writing strikes a chord with many! thanks for your entries.
I'm taking a break from entering my books into the catalog, and decided to see with whom I share the most books. You win. I see we have a lot of mutual interests.
Hi,
we both have books by P. J. Wiseman. I have Creation revealed in six days, and I am wondering how it relates to Clues to Creation in Genesis, which you have. Does Clues to Creation contain both Creation Revealed and Ancient records and the structure of Genesis? If there is some relationship between the three works by P. J. Wiseman currently known to LT, it would be useful to record the fact somewhere, because I believe that his views have acquired a significant following and I expect that more people will catalog his books on LT than the few who have done so as yet.
Regards, Jim Roberts
Jeaneva,
Thanks for highlighting the problem of different authors subsumed under John F. Kennedy and appreciate and am thankful to both yourself and Puritanismtoday for technical help in this area - certainly not my strong point.

With Kind Christian regards,

J.G.
Dear Jeaneva,

Thank you. I have changed him to Dr. John Kennedy and have added a picture. I am now in process of contacting the few people who have his books so that they will hopefully settle for this name. If I can do so then we will separate him from other John Kennedy's and so all his books will be under the one name and with a picture.

I understand. I love working in the library; indeed I am often scolded for not going home when my hours are finished.

G.M
Dear Jeaneva,

I'm sorry but I have only just begun using this site and thus do not believe that I am in a position to help you. However, you do ask if John Kennedy had the title 'Rev'. It would be better to put it in as either Dr. John Kennedy or Rev. Dr. John Kennedy - I believe the former is the one which is most universally used.

It is a pleasure to meet you.

G.M

P.S. My library is in poor condition as I am trying simply to add books. When I have added them I wish to make everything as uniform as I possibly can. I have found that sometimes making certain changes causes the ISBN number to change – thus the social data says no one else has that book in their library when there are many of them. I also wish to have a picture for every book eventually. So if you, or any you know, have many of the books that I have in my library then you may wish to check to see if pictures are now available for the books that are currently without such in your library.
I changed my Paul Harvey book. Thanks, and sorry it took me so long. Feel free to contact me any time with corrections, clarifications, etc. I notice a recent thread concerns people who apparently don't appreciate it, but I'm not bothered.
Ha! Guess what? Just when I get your message suggesting The Haj by Leon Uris, "coincidentally" I had just rented the famous DVD "Exodus" based on another Uris book. Am very grateful for any of your suggestions (bring 'em on!) and intend to read The Haj.

No, though I have read many Henry Morris books, I do not recall reading that one, Long War Against God. I'm a huge Morris fan and still have several of his books that I want to read but haven't gotten to yet. Am excited for you about your trip to see your son and the Creation Museum. Odds are you will go to the Museum before I do, though I've been following it's planning and building for years now and would like to go--I'd probably just fly up and back the same day. I am also monitoring the scandal between AiG and the Australian group, unfortunate.

I, too, believe the Creation issue is important. I've noticed, though, that many Christians "grow out of" erroneous origins views as they grow in the faith. For example, after I first got saved, I understandably came to my new relationship with presuppositions, one being that evolution was a given since "everyone" believed it. Yet I sincerely wanted to submit to Christ in all areas so I tried to fit the Bible and evolution together and for a very brief time leaned towards the possibility of reconciliation via "the gap theory," then later toyed with Hugh Ross' "progressive creationism" (disguised evolution, basically), but as I studied the Bible it became clear from scripture-to-scripture comparison that evolution is totally incompatible. Unfortunately, there are many others that just don't read their Bibles much systematically, but in pieces, skipping some of the very books that would make it clear that evolution is not an option. Thanks again and have a great trip! - ER
I made the change and put a note in the comments section. jwillis
I've made the change, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Cheers
I have made the correction for Creative Prayer and listed the author as E. Herman as it is in the book.
jeaneva, just want to say thanks for posting some reviews, I'm finding them helpful. God bless - ER

Sorry, I know how to delete, what I need is a short cut for, is finding true duplicates. Two or more copies of the same exact book rather than different editions, etc. If there was a search feature that only looked for true dups then it would be easy to delete them.

Thanks again. Ted
Thanks, I really know just enough about the internet to be dangerous. I usally type in Word so to catch the spelling errors. I try to figure out what you are purposing.

I just gave away a "Day's of our Lives" cookbook I found a while back. I saw you like cookbooks. The lady I gave it too use to watch the show in the 70's. I almost busted out laughing when she turned the page and said, yea right her i cook!!
Thanks Jeaneva. Please check out how I have it listed now and if that is more accurate? Please feel free to leave comments at any time. I would like to know how to find and remove of real duplicate books. Looks like everyone might be having that problem. Thanks again. Ted
I do not intentionally omit editors as a rule. I did not even notice this issue with "The Twelve Year Sentence". I simply imported the books as quickly as I could. I guess when I did it, the editor was not included in the selection I chose.

But maybe among the selections that were available at the time I imported, it said that the editor was the author, without any indication that it was referring to an editor. That I DO object to -- I would rather omit the editor than claim he/she was the one and only author. If ", Ed." or "(editor)" appeared at the end of the name, I suppose I could accept that as the "author" instead of there being a separate field for editor.

As I said in my other comments (referenced on my profile), I think the LibraryThing system needs to come up with a single import format besides ISBN which is general enough, and stick with it (I have not read LT since I made those comments; maybe it's improved). ReaderWare is general enough to handle every book in my library with little fuss; why isn't LibraryThing?
Hi, you wrote:

"Don't know if you'll be interested, but the book
The Twelve-year Sentence (without an author listed)
has 5 owners; with (the editor) Wiiliam F.
Rickenbacker has four.

Do you routinely omit the editor as author?

No. I probably just clicked the precise edition (dated 1974) that came up on a search, and it didn't have the editor's name, for some reason.

I do have qualms about entering an editor as author
(e.g., Asimov's prodigious output as the credited
editor), but see no other way to connect the works
with other owners.

When I hand-enter a book, I list, under author or additional authors, the info like this:

William F. Rickenbacker (editor), James Gill (illustrator)

etc.

But I rarely correct information I get from Amazon or the LoC, only in cases where it is OBVIOUSLY wrong, or annoying (errors in title, etc.). So that's how that book got on my list oddly.

There's a lot of bad information and lack of information on the lists we have to work from. The database has by no means been cleaned up to perfection.
Welcome to the Political Conservatives group. Thanks for joining!
Thanks, I had not noticed that. I am trying to get "all" my books cataloged. After doing a batch, I go back and make corrections from whatever my search source put in. I don't catch them all right away. So, thanks again.
