matilda36I have been going through my book collection recently, doing an heavy culling (due to space constraints)and it has been strangely easy. Maybe because I have been doing a lot of this letting go of the past stuff recently, maybe because I know that the books will go to good homes, but I managed to make most of my choices in 3 days (there is still the translation issue (i.e. not keeping two copies of the same book in two different languages. The original always wins)to sort out).
Today I was looking at my to keep group and I was wondering what people would say about me from my books.
Here are some highlights:
-I own most of the bibliography (in two languages) of Christopher Isherwood.
-I own most of the bibliography (in two languages) of William Burroughs
-I own most of the bibliography (in two languages) of P.G. Woodhouse.
-I own most of the bibliography (in two languages) of David and Leigh Eddings.
-I have a large collection of Edwardian (Wilde, Kipling, Conrad)literature
-I do own a large collection of British writers between the two Wars (Woolf, Dijuna Barnes)
-Most of the books I own have been written by gay men and women.
-A consistent part of the above are gender Theory book.
-I do have an interesting collection of classical (Roman and Ancient Greek) books, including a number of grammar, literary history and history books.
-I do have an interesting collection of manuals, covering topics from worm breeding to forgiveness.
-I do own an interesting collection of books on religions (especially Oriental and Paganism)
Not sure what somebody can make of my choices, but I'd like to know...

Of course the pairing that most springs to mind is me and Belgarath *g* Who cares about the age difference :D

What should Tolkien say then? I have seen in the LotR fandom fictions that no human mind should be allowed to conceive...
