End of Year TOP TEN Novel Round-Up!

The end of the year generally causes a great deal of lists: lists of the best songs, or movies, or perhaps books of the year. Random house has taken this a step further by creating several BEST BOOKS list of ALL TIME lists, by category, which I hope includes 2008. It's at the following link: http://www.randomhouse.com/modernlibrary/100bestnovels.html

While I have read a few of the list-worthy ones (and have a few on the back-burner as well!)
I am curious as to what librarians would choose as their "top ten" books of all time, since ther is just not enough time for a top 100.

***So I pose the question: What are our Librarian's top ten list of Best Books of ALL TIME? Tell me People!!!!

Blogger "Type-alyzer" website

So I went to this website to get my blog analyzed: http://www.typealyzer.com
My results are as follows:
INTP - The Thinkers
The logical and analytical type. They are especially attuned to difficult creative and intellectual challenges and always look for something more complex to dig into. They are great at finding subtle connections between things and imagine far-reaching implications.

The second half of the description was totally NOT me since I am often told that I Do, indeed, "get other people's needs" right and it is part of my success as a librarian.

So there, you're wrong, Myers-Briggs....humans just can't be quantified neatly!

Library Thing -Rock-n-Roll!

So I have been a member of Library Thing for a while, and I like it, but compared to Goodreads.com, I am not a fan. The purpose of Goodreads is eerily similar to LibraryThing, and both allow members to make reviews, create a profile, interact with others, etc. Check them both out if you can, and see which one you like better. I have made some few friends in my short time on Goodreads, and all were very nice. And Depending on the forums you join, you could be in for some great discussions with people of equal and very different mentality! Happy Reading!

GoodReads.com Friends, find me!

If anyone in Library-world is on Goodreads, please let me know. I have been on the site for a while, and while I haven't updated in a bit (since I have been writing a novel with NaNoWriMo.org instead of reading them), I want to get back in the swing.
So if you've read a good book, please contact me thru the blog or Goodreads. I've got Loving Frank almost completed, but loved the stories in the Starry Rift compilation and Kelly Link's Pretty monsters collection. Happy Reading!

Twitter! I just Tweeted!

Yes, fellow librarians, I took the plunge and i tweeted on Twitter. now, don't get me wrong, it's a cute concept but I felt all of nine years old and like the school-yard gossip when i wrote what i did.
Twitter is a LOT like the status updates on FaceBook but with no other content to fill out or games to play or pictures to view, it's a lot simpler. I don't see it having much value for me, but hey, I am nothing if not adventurous!
Take care...got to Tweet!
