About My Library

Most of my library is taken up by fantasy, sf, horror, graphic novels, and role playing games. There are also a fair number of hiking, natural history, gardening, art, mythology, and children's books as well. It's pretty easy to figure out what my literary tastes are by scanning through my tags. If it's not in there, chances are I don't have much interest in it.

This is every book that I own and is currently in my home (although I'm sure I missed a few somehow). I also have quite a few boxes of books in storage several states away, but since I don't have easy access to them and don't really know what's there, I'm not going to attempt to add them any time soon.

Currently, I do not include books that I have read but do not own, as it would always be incredibly inaccurate. For the same reason, I don't keep a wish list of books here.

Most books are fairly well tagged, although there are quite a few that have only 1 or 2 basic tags. I hope to improve this at some point soon.
