My book collection consists of more than 98 books. I have all of my standard fantasy / sci-fi / adventure books catalogued - but I have a handful of other books; and not just non-fiction (which I don't count as part of my collection). So basically I currently have 98 novels - some are stand-alone works but most are fantasy series'.
I intend to complete a lot of the series' that I have so far - especially getting the first volume in a series I only have one or two books in. There are quite a few that I haven't even read since I am waiting until I have the first volume. I guess I could utilise the library or try to find ebooks - but reading is quite time consuming and I'd rather focus on one book at once, putting in time for writing my own masterpiece ^L^
Following this is a listing of all the fantasy / sci-fi novels I have. I've also compiled into a spreadsheet a list of books that I have yet to get hold of, despite my bookshelf looking nicely filled already. The simple fact is, I like to collect books in paper form, and although I haven't bought anything in a long time, I spent today revising my database and revising the list that I have of books I would like to get to add to that collection.

I realise that I'm lacking a lot of information - there's no indication of which books go to what series or which volume within each series each book pertains to. This is a basic list taken from my database to give a fair idea of what I have without going too indepth.
That about sums up my Saturday. I did spend a lot of time this morning cleaning and then went downtown to get a haircut and grab a few things. Just been wasting time online tonight and watched The Transporter - the audio seems to get out of sync on that movie no matter which copy of it I get...
And... I'm playing the drums tomorrow morning at church ^L^
Good night!
