About meI love books. I like looking at them, handling them, browsing through them, sorting them, holding them, stacking them, sharing them. Sometimes I even get around to reading them.

About my libraryMy "Your Library" collection is my listing of books that I physically own. I consider this my main collection. My other collections are fun stuff for my own entertainment (but you are welcome to browse in them if you feel so inclined).
Wishlist = I know that I want to buy it.
Check out = It seems interesting, but I don't know yet whether I want to buy it.
Decide = I own it, but I haven't decided yet whether I want to keep it.

I am very attached to my collection. If I love a book, I want to own it, and usually re-read it. I am like you in that I very physical with my books...sorting, holding, sharing, etc. They are all in order by author and/or subject. I like to be able to put my hands on the book I want right now. If I want information I'd rather find it in a book. There is something so satisfying in turning a page and finding what you want.

You and I obviously have similar tastes, judging by our libraries...your shelves could almost be mine, except that mine are white!
