I know! I have a pile that I recorded back when VHS was still a thing...I think there are DVDs out now of the series. Didn't usually care for the "life" story, but I always wanted to see what book he was doing (costumes, yay!) and it was interesting how it would relate to whatever predicament was otherwise going on.

It's not the most literary of things (or quality video) but...
Pride & Prejudice

oh I know all about VHS tapes... says the lady who still has a VCR. it might even still work. XD

and from what I do remember, it was interesting to see how the story in the book (and also costumes, yay!) related to the story in the episode.

One of the things on my "to-do" list is to help my mom transfer all out video recordings to DVD. There are a lot of them. There are even some Beta hanging around. ;)

I like the episode with Anansi the spider and wisdom. Hopefully I'll be able to track down a written copy of it.

oh that sounds like so much fun!... not! XD

Well, that would depend entirely on the content of said videos tapes. The last one was supposed to be old ice skating galas and a biography of Scott Hamilton, when "Biography" was still running. Instead it was a "Murder She Wrote" marathon, of which mom already owns all of them on DVD so no point there.

oopsie.

i'm pretty sure all my tapes are still labelled accurately.

We have a "red book" that has everything cataloged up to tape 89. Sadly, there are over 100 now. Yes, this tape lied.

I have exactly none of my VHS tapes cataloged.

or my books. I tried to keep track of the books I own on goodreads. didn't work out so well.

You need to remedy this immediately :)
You also have to try Kindred. I've read it several times, and it is a very good time travel book.

I will - soon enough!

ooh, Kindred looks interesting! I'll put it on my goodreads list, thanks!

I don't have a list of books I have, but I have a list of books I read.
I keep it in a Composition Book.

I'm sure there a way, on goodreads, to get it to display all the books you listed as owning. mine's just very out of date!

the list I have of books I read first started out as a google doc, but since I joined goodreads, I stopped updating the list. Now my list is just on goodreads. XD

I've always had a hard list on paper.
I like to write, so I love doing it that way.
I started also keeping a list of books read when I joined Ernya.

the thing I liked about putting the list in google docs is that when I read a book, I could put it alphabetical order when I put it on the list. That way, I could easily find out if I read the book, or what book in a series I was up to.

on goodreads, I can just sort the whole mess alphabetically. XD

Oh damn! that is a good idea, usually I have to go through page after page. I look when the book came out then I start looking from there.
I'll have to check that goodreads thing out. Maybe just put the last 5 years of books read on there.

I started keeping track of my books in 2008 - I'd kept track on my LiveJournal, so I scrolled through and put those in my google doc. Then when I started 2009, I made a new page and added books from 2009 onto the new page.

Somewhere in there, I also started a second google doc, which was a comprehensive list. So, when I finished a book, I'd put it in alphabetical order on the 2009 page and the comprehensive page.

When I joined goodreads in 2014, I added all my books from my google docs lists and made sure they matched up. I think I updated my google docs for a little bit longer, but then after a while, it was easier to just update the goodreads list, so the google docs have fallen by the wayside. I probably ought to delete them at this point.
