If On a Winter's Night a Traveler Tag

• I came across this in the Goodreads Quotes section and it made me laugh, so I clicked on it. Today it popped up on my blog, and I thought, "It's a tag!" So credit to Italo Calvino for this one. Feel free to borrow, use, adapt, share, etc.

• Sections in the Bookstore:
• (for my purposes I'm going to do "sections in my Goodreads TBR list")
• 
  
• Books you haven't read: Vanishing Girls by Lauren Olivier. I've liked her other books. I should read this, right?
• Books you needn't read: Fray by Josh Whedon Given recent conversation about Whedon's issues, I can skip this one.
• Books Made for Purposes Other than Reading: Show-Off: How to Do Everything, One Step at a Time by Sarah Hines Stephens  I don't know if that's what this category means, exactly. 
• Books Read Even Before You Open Them Since They Belong to the Category of Books Read Before Being Written: Beyond Good Intentions: A Mother Reflects on Raising Internationally Adopted Children by Cheri Register This was another challenging category to interpret, but I'm taking it as a book I've lived myself.
• Books That If You Had More Than One Life You Would Certainly Also Read but Unfortunately Your Days Are Numbered: Blackberry Winter: My Earlier Years by Margaret Mead I've had this on my TBR since my TBR was notes scratched on the back of a receipt when I found something good in the bookstore. I just don't feel like it's every going to rise to the top of the list though.
• Books You Mean to Read but There Are Others You Must Read First: Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens I had it on hold at the library once too, and still didn't get to it. But I will!
• Books Too Expensive Now and You'll Wait 'til They're Remaindered: Once and Future by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy I only buy for my classroom, and I'm not convinced enough kids are desperate for this one to shell out full price. 
• Books ditto When They Come Out in Paperback: The Past and Other Things that Should Stay Buried by Shaun David Hutchinson Such a clever category title! And truly, I feel less of a need to get this in hardback (remaindered) than the previous title. 
• Books You Can Borrow from Somebody: Becoming by Michelle Obama`Right? Everyone has a copy of this.
• Books Everybody Has Read so It's As If You Had Read Them, Too: I'll be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara Her persistence led to the capture of the Golden State Killer! 
• Books You've Been Planning to Read for Ages: A Heart for Any Fate by Linda Crew  This has been on my TBR since 2010, and it's been sitting on the coffee table for a few months now.
• Books You've Been Hunting for Years Without Success: The Merry Baker of Riga by Boris Zemtzov I've had a number of good pieragi and cups of coffee at the Jautrais Maiznieks, and would love to read this memoir by its owner.
• Books Dealing with Something You're Working on at the Moment: Parenting in the Eye of the Storm by Katie Naftzger About the challenges of parenting adopted teens, of which I have two as of Wednesday. 
• Books You Want to Own so They'll Be Handy Just in Case: The Art of Memoir by Mary Karr (or any of the Not So Big House books!)
• Books You Could Put Aside to Read Maybe in the Summer: A Feast of Crows by George R. R. Martin I can only get through these doorstops when I have some time off. 
• Books You Need to Go With Other Books On Your Shelf: The Found and the Lost: The Collected Novellas by Ursula K. Le Guin (to go with The Unreal and the Real: The Collected Short Stories)
• Books That Fill You with Sudden, Inexplicable Curiosity, Not Easily Justified: Being Caribou: Five Months on Foot with a Caribou Herd by Karsten Heuer I never knew I wanted to know what it was like to be caribou until I saw this title.
• Books Read Long Ago, Which It's Time to Re-read: The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by Milan Kundera I last read this in the spring of 1990. 
• Books You Have Always Pretended You Read, and Now It's Time to Sit Down and Read Them: David Copperfield by Charles Dickens I read a lot of Dickens in my pretentious youth, but somehow did not read this most classic of classics. 
• 
  
• Which of those categories made you laugh? Which immediately brought a title or two to mind? I loved the phrase "but unfortunately your days are numbered," and I knew right away that I could borrow Becoming from any number of people.
