While I haven't had a lack of things to read lately (mainly trashy romances, but still), I have been cataloguing my non-fiction by choice. Dewey decimal system. I've managed to do all but two of my books, thanks to C., who sent me a website with links to all NZ libraries websites. As a result, they're all Dewey now and I need to buy little white stickers to put on the spine so everyone esle knows what they are as well.
However, if anyone knows where I should classify Great God, Here I Am: Today's Christian Talks With God, Brandt, Leslie F., appears to be bad poetry (picked it up in Masterton for free); and Speeches of Edward Lord Lytton: now first collected with some of his political writings hitherto unpublished and a prefatory memoir by his son in two volumes. Volume i, I would greatly appreciate it. I think the latter might go in Biography/Autobiography but other speeches by people tend to be in the 800s or 900s. Also, (although I cannot find it on Amazon), Some Thoughts On Pain, Anne Lamont and A Gift Of Great Poetry, Lucien Stryk.
This means I have 631 books in my collection, including the boxes I have in Hamilton. That's not too bad for someone who is only 22. Unsurprisingly, I have most of my books in the 800s (I did a degree in Classics), followed by the 900s (I did a History degree) and the 200s (I have about six Bibles) and of course, the 300s (thanks to owning several curriculum documents).
I'm quite pleased to have it all up-to-date. It makes it easier to keep it up-to-date and I can label them and have people be all 'you're so obessive,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nishatalitha and this will amuse me, I am sure. Plus, I can loan them out and not lose track of them.
I should go do something about dinner and put the 50 odd books on my floor away. I might even watch House later, if I remember.
