Somebody should recommend LibraryThing to this writer on The Guardian, who just can’t stop wondering what books people have on their bookshelves.

    Monsieur Davies:

    Do you know this quote from that great bibliophile Borges:

    “To arrange a library is to practice, in a quiet and modest way, the art of criticism.”

    If you’re interested in an intimate look at the writing life and/or a very personal perspective on the printed word, I hope you’ll drop by my blog. Google “Beautiful Desolation” or pop in to:

    Best to you,
