Browsing the Bookshelves

I'm becoming quite obsessional about bookcrossing.  It really is a wonderful idea. If you love reading or love books (not always the same thing), and haven't come across bookcrossing.com yet, I think you'll find a visit well worth it.

Have released another dozen or so books into the wild today myself, all dotted around Forest Hill and Sydenham. If you fancy going hunting, you can see exactly where they've been left here.

Bookcrossing also has the facility to store records of your book collection for you. Lovely idea but - aside from the fact that what I have is really more of an out of control accumulation rather than a personal collection - I really wouldn't know where to start, and it would take so long to enter the thousands that are dotted all around the house. Perhaps I should just enter those which are newly acquired, as they arrive.

Not much else going on. The bookshop is slow, the garden is cold and the kitchen seems to far away.
