Tuesday Thingers

Seems it is Tuesday once again, if just barely. So, lets go over to The Boston Bibliophile and see what this weeks question is.
This week's question: LibraryThing's Recently Added feature: do you look at it? Do you use it for ideas? Is there something listed there now that looks interesting to you? What have you added to your LT library recently?

Well, there are actually two 'Recently Added'...recently added by me and recently added by other members and I can say that I use them both. More often the recently added by myself oddly enough. Oddly because, if I just added them, why do I need to book at them again? Good question. I could say short term memory loss which is also true. But more importantly, I like to use the feature to go back and add tags or a rating. And I just like the pretty book covers. Because I am a book addict.

I also look at what other members have recently added because, you know, I always need more books to acquire. Because, yes, I am an addict.
And also because there are often some very, very odd books there. There was one there as I just looked that contained the tags pigs, dystopia and prostitutes. An interesting combination, don't you think?
But the one I just saw that I would actually consider buying is 'The Big Oyster: History on the Half Shell' by Mark Kurlansky. It seems Mr. Kurlansky is also the author of 'Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World'. The oyster book...if I reviewed it, I could reuse the picture of the oyster boat that I used in my post about the East Point Lighthouse!

To be totally honest, I find all the recently added book titles interesting. Because I am an addict. Yep...

Have I added books recently? Are you serious? What do you think? With the addict thing and all...the most recent addition being Five Skies by Ron Carlson, because someone on LT mentioned it and it sounded great. And I am an addict. :-)
