That library thing

My current LibraryThing book count is at 876, with 30 more ISBNs and LC catalog numbers in the queue waiting to get sucked into my catalog. Which isn't going to happen tonight; it's telling me "Finishing estimate: between 9 hours, 40 minutes and 14 hours, 27 minutes. There are 5177 books in the queue ahead of you." Mind-boggling.

Once the queue clears out, I'm essentially done entering books, other than the odd one that isn't in a bookcase or that I've loaned out. (And of course, any new books I buy.) So it appears that I had actually overestimated the number of volumes piled all over the place by at least a hundred. Although, if I counted the 2 or 3 boxes of books I didn't catalog because they're slated for sale or donation, I think I would hit 1,000.

And, oh yes, I almost forgot: there's still a shelf of books on tape and CD. And maybe 60 or 70 DVDs (they've got ISBNs too, at least some of them do). And there's always software...

Maybe I'm not as close to finished as I thought.
