Alice - It is hard to believe it's been so long, isn't it? Time has flown by. I figure I will be tagging books for a long time to come. :-)

I have been blogging for nearly two years too. I use LibraryThing to catalogue all my books and Visual Bookshelf on Facebook. The tags I created for LT are very basic stuff such as 'fiction', 'non-fiction', 'Christian', and 'last name alphabet-alphabet'. Just so I know how many books are in each category and stuff like that. :)

You're right, these things take time...

Thank you all for stopping in and commenting! I do wish I was more organized about tagging. It will be one of my future projects. :-)

The banned book list is interesting. I was surprised to see Little House on the Prairie and Bridge to Terebithia on the list too. They seem like such harmless books!

I read The Handmaid's Tale and was kind of freaked out by it. I still need to get the Bell Jar.
Great list!

2008-06-11T03:26:00.000-07:00

I don't tag my own stuff but bookshop stock is categorised so that I know where to look.
And now I'm off to do the Banned Books meme.....

2008-06-11T00:44:00.000-07:00

I don’t tag at all. I’ve tried it before but it just irritated me. Everything can be found by searching in the top bar anyways. I think I’ve done that list before... Not sure.

2008-06-10T21:23:00.000-07:00

I've just been thinking about the whole tagging thing myself. I keep thinking I need to do it but then I just get lazy and put it off :)

I'm with you. I only tag for myself :)

2008-06-10T20:07:00.000-07:00

I'm with you. I only tag for myself :)

2008-06-10T19:22:00.000-07:00

Oh, you must read The Handmaid's Tale! And it's short...what could beat that? I've always wanted to read Les Miserables as well (got about 50 pages in before it was due back to the library). It is my favorite broadway show--now if I could just figure out how to have the book sing to me, that would be perfect!

Oh, I'm so glad that there're tags available in bl...

2008-06-10T16:37:00.000-07:00

Oh, I'm so glad that there're tags available in blogs, because without them I don't even know where to look if I want to find something from the archives.

You and I blog about the same time! ;) How time flies, eh?

2008-06-10T15:58:00.000-07:00

Banned books is very interesting and I agree with Laura about Little House on the Prarie. What's up with that. I'll need to research that one. I'll have to go through that list and see which I've read. Thanks for adding that.

2008-06-10T14:24:00.000-07:00

I tag a lot and my tags are really a mixture of genre, content, and status as in read, to read, to review. All for my own benefit though I think.

Thanks for doing this one! It's always fun to see ...

2008-06-10T14:02:00.000-07:00

Thanks for doing this one! It's always fun to see what others have read. :)

2008-06-10T13:18:00.000-07:00

I'm going to do both of these on my blog fairly soon, so I don't want to give away too much here :-), but it looks like you use a combination of read-status and book-type/genre tags on LT. I do the same. I'm actually less descriptive with the tags I use on the book-review posts on my blog.

2008-06-10T11:23:00.000-07:00

The part of your post about tags intrigued me. As a library cataloger, I keep being told that a "controlled vocabulary" (i.e. tags) is no longer necessary with computers, since everyone searches by keywords anyway ...

I've read more on the list than I thought I had - some of them due to the fact that I was a political science/philosophy major in college!

2008-06-10T09:23:00.000-07:00

Doesn't it make you wonder what is wrong with people that they would want to ban something like Little House on the Prairie, To Kill a Mockingbird, or Bridge to Terabithia? A few of those titles, I can imagine the reasons for wanting to ban it - or at least the weird justification book banners would use - but some them? I just don't get it.

2008-06-10T08:55:00.000-07:00

I tag but am not sure how organized I am about it. I'm sure there's room for improvement.

As for the list, reading it makes me want to go out and buy a bunch of them. Not because they're banned, but because I've been wanting to read quite a few of them. I didn't know that the majority of them were considered banned in the first place. I've read 16 of them so far.

2008-06-10T08:50:00.000-07:00

i like tagging a lot for organizing- being able to see what i have, being able find things, make connections. it's fun. :-)

2008-06-10T06:43:00.000-07:00

I haven't seen this list of banned books before, and it would be very interesting to see reasons why. I find it a bit humorous that Little House on the Prairie is on the list!

2008-06-10T06:23:00.000-07:00

Yes, if I could just get organized, I could go back and make sure all my books are tagged and the tags are all uniform. Of course, deep down I know that's never gonna happen.

2008-06-10T05:48:00.000-07:00

LOL @ "Said by the woman who uses several different versions of the same tag..."

I could make up my mind. It's remembering what it was made up to do! (lol)

Compared to me, you are VERY organized. I only wish I could be as half as organized as you.
