the slippery slope
Jan. 30th, 2011 09:11 pmTonight's project was putting bookplates on the books. I had started this a long while ago and periodically make further progress. Sometimes I'm even cunning enough to tag a book when it comes in the door. The problem is in order to put a bookplate on a book, you have to open it. The opening bit, that's easy. Even applying the bookplate, in the event the book hasn't already been tagged, doesn't take long. It's the closing bit that becomes tricky. It's always a case of: "Oh, I haven't read this in a long time, maybe I'll should just..." Or the alternate: "Oh, I've never read this and it doesn't look too long..." There is a reason I never finish with this particular project.
Of note: We have three copies of "Small Gods", two hardback and one paperback. I guess that would make for good simultaneous reading for a triad. We have two copies of "Good Omens", one trade paper and one hardback. We also have two copies of "Lost in a Good Book", one trade paper and one hardback. Not that you can have too many copies of these books.
