When I first started this record, I made a promise to someday share the titles of my book collection. Calling it "My Library" sounds too precocious and has a hint of public availability. And lest you be confused, there is none. But, if you're blood and I like you, maybe you can borrow something sometime.
I first started this project sometime last year - inputting titles and authors in an Excel spread sheet. I've actually seen software that will store the information in a more organized manner - detailing dates, publishers, bookcover art, etc. - using the Dewey Decimal sytem. I'd like that much detail, but frankly, that much organization kinda scares me.
I thought that putting this data on disc would somehow promote longevity and instant recollection in the case the house burned down or say, Logan chewed her way through a book or two, not that it ever happened. But recent events have re-convinced me that discs are not indistructible and tend to lose information if placed in water or fire for long periods of time.
But, if i'm ever without shelter, food or clothing, at least I've got a list of what I used to own as logn as I have an Internet connection.
I tried the hyperlink the Excel file, but the re-format is rather confusing and difficult to read. So, until I figure out how to do it, all you get is titles.
