Project 2010: Library Catalogue

In light of how unsuccessful my 2009 resolution turned out to be, I have decided to start of 2010 with a full inventory of my personal book collection (all those pretty paperbacks I have been stockpiling for years) as well as the books my grandmother left behind. The goal is to get a comprehensive list to assist me in flushing out my classic literature collection and to help me properly organize my physical library.

Currently, I have catalogued 170 of my own volumes and 260 of my grandmother's. I was surprised to see that her collection is heavy in Dickens, Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Kipling, Steinbeck, Hemmingway, and Russian Literature. It's also very light in Asian Literature and women authors.

Admittedly, a large reason for my failure to finish reading many books last year was to the extensive amount of time spent playing MMORPG video games - hopefully my retirement in this category of games will allow me to return to my happier, heavy reading days!
