Obsession

I've been unable to blog of late because I'm stuck. I am glued to that darn LibraryThing.

My sister sent me an "invitation"...Join Me at LibraryThing! I promised to do so when I returned from the Yellowstone (mis)adventure which I will write about as soon as I can tear myself away from that darn LibraryThing!

I swear, my head hurts, my shoulders ache. For days on end I've been glued to the computer, cataloguing, searching, perusing...I lie awake at night remembering books I haven't thought about in years.

I can't even READ a book because I'm too busy cataloguing them.

Yesterday at a job, I asked my client (a lawyer and Mom, who recently loaned me a book) if she had tried LibraryThing. "Oh no!" she replied, "I'm much too busy. But let me know if you find any must-reads!"

It occurred to me that only people like me who don't have much of a life would have time for this obsession. But on the other hand, perhaps I don't have much of a life because I'm too busy piddling it away whilst trapped in my obsessions...
