I Love Organizing Books and Meeting Authors

Organizing Your Books
I love organizing my books. When I was little, my room wasn’t that neat, but all my children’s books were arranged on my big bookcase in alphabetical order by the author’s last name!
Right now I have some volumes in a storage facility, some on shelves, and others scattered around the bedroom, bathroom, and living room (and I’m not going to post photos of that mess!) I am giving some away to charity (if I haven’t read them in ten years I’m never going to read them!). But most importantly, I bought a Kindle a few months ago and have them on there. It can hold over 3,000 books! The only ones I really need to keep in book form are my beloved decorating and interior design coffee-table books!
I keep my Kindle books neatly organized in Collections.
What authors would you like to meet?
I really thought about this. There are some “mysterious” authors I’d like to know more about, such as Tom Pynchon. Who is he? The only problem is that I haven’t read any of his books! J.K. Rowling comes to mind because I love the story of how she wrote much of the first Harry Potter book in a local coffee shop. I love to write in coffee shops and also in mall food courts BEFORE the mall opens!
I would really like to talk to some DEAD authors, too. Jane Austen and all of the Brontes! J. D. Salinger! Ernest Hemingway and Sylvia Plath! I wish there had been better medications for depression when Ernest and Sylvia were alive. So sad . . . and then there’s John Keats and the other tragic English romantics . . . gosh, the list is endless!

Hey!
Hopping through. I didn't think about picking any author who has died, but Plath would be interesting!

I love writing being surrounded by people. As long as they don't look over my shoulder . . .

I'll definitely get a Nook one day. I do love my Kindle, though.

Yes, I love Ikea, too. I must be the Swedish in me (my mom was from Sweden) . . .

Wow, I can't believe how many responses I've seen that say they can't get into sci-fi. I generally prefer fantasy but I like a good sci-fi book every once in awhile. Actually, science fiction is interesting to study to see how some inventions have actually come about decades after the books were written.

I guess H.G. Wells and Isaac Asimov were prophetic, weren't they?
