Melannen's LC lists

Ooh, can I join in? I'm all into fixing up my LOC numbers (now that we have sort) and this seems like a great way to organize my reading and figure out just what I've got. (Also: fun!)

Here's my read list, taken from books in my library that I own. (Since part of my goal is to read more books I own, I'm sticking to owned ones. And I just took the first one in the catalog from each category, regardless of how appropriate they were. The title that ended up first is sheer coincidence, I swear!

So that's 78/220. 1/3 of the way there! Next: books I own from categories I haven't read yet.

**I'm pretty sure this is mis-catalogued, but I'm going by LT.
*This is in French and Arabic. I don't know Arabic and I don't know French, but it's a picture book, and I looked at the pictures and puzzled out the captions by way of Spanish and Latin, so it counts as 'read'.

Next, my new to-read list! Books I have but haven't read! These are now officially To Be Read (so I can check them off the list) or Gotten Rid Of (because I clearly don't want to read them) sometime in the near future.

76 + 38 = 114/220! And a lot of these are actually partly-read already.

And to finish it off, the rest of the list. I know there's quite a few more that I can knock off here in the big mass of not-yet-in-LT books downstairs and upstairs, and some in the textbooks-and-other that are in LT but don't have LC entered yet.

The rest are now my shopping list!

You have an interesting list! I'm particularly intrigued by Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts (one of my favorite songs as a child).

Of course you can join in, welcome to the group! You definitely have some interesting lists. I'm hoping you'll eventually make a Dewey one too!

I read Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts a few years ago-found it randomly in the library and just had to read it. If I remember correctly, it was interesting and I'd hoped they would make an updated version of the book. I was also amazed at how many of those chants I remember from my own childhood. Who knew there were so many alternate versions of the last lines of that song!

Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts is an excellent read - the only thing I wish is that is was longer! It focuses mostly on childhood rhymes as subversion of the adult world, so it misses some of the ones that are just fun nonsense or really really old, and it's also notably out-of-date, but it's still great fun.

And _Zoe_, I'm not doing the Dewey challenge because I haven't gone through and fixed the Dewey numbers for most of my library! Maybe when I get a year of free time to go through and do that I'll try the Dewey challenge too. :D

I suspect the sailing book is misclassified, too; all mine are in GV (and HV for GV is an easy typo).

And for the Dreams: a book of symbols -- the Z232.R95 number is for "Books printed by the Running Press", i.e., it's classed as a specimen of the book printer's art rather than for its content. If it really is about symbols in dreams, then content classification would be BF1078 or BF1091.
