You know, I've never seen any incarnation of "Batman." Doesn't feel like a big loss in my life.
Anyway, a friend has introduced me to a fabulous little addiction. Bibliophil has to be the most intoxicating fun for English majors and other obsessive readers. It's a site where you can catalog and rate books you read, keep track of books you want to read and/or buy, get suggestions on books you might like, be happily voyeristic of other people's reading habits and just in general revel in the vast quantity of books out there. I've just started my library, but it's already be highly entertaining. Thinking of my most recently read books led to thinking of all-time favorites led to beloved childhood stories led to what I read in high school led to what I read in Modern Fiction led to ... And I haven't even scratched the surface of my main bookshelf! Granted, Carrots (the fiancee of a friend of Brad's) is a PhD student at Rice and no doubt could put my puny little BA list to shame, but still, how fun!

Welcome to my odditorium, a collection of curiosities made up of snippets about my life and occasional machinations on deeper subjects.

I just started playing around with LibraryThing which sounds very similar to Bibliophil. I only added a few books, since it would take an awful long time to add everything on my bookshelves... not that I'm an obsessive reader or anything. :)
Well you caught me in your diabolical net. As a good sheep I too have started a library, but I don't think mine is nearly as impressive as yours.
Baaaaa! Baaaaa! What good wholesome fun!
