Thing #11 Here a book, there a book, everywhere a book-book

I added my Harry Potter and Anne McCaffrey (arguably one of the premier science fiction writers ever, in my opinion)books to LibraryThing. I didn't know how many closets and cubbyholes in my house contained books. I stopped counting around 500. I have books that my mother and her sisters read when they were growing up (1930's and 1940's), a collection of old school books including some original McGuffy's Readers circa 1900, and scads of books I read to my niece and now read to my grandkids. I probably won't post in LibraryThing I learned more history from romance novels than I ever did in a classroom.

When I was adding my books I also found out I had missed some Anne McCaffrey published in the last year or so - I definitely need to get to the library and book store more often. I am on my way to Barnes and Noble to get them as soon as I post this!

I'm not sure how I could use this in the classroom, but I will enjoy sharing thoughts with other bibliophiles on my favorite authors. I am certified to teach math and English: most of the sites I have looked at have tickled the math side, this will nourish the creative side.
