OT and completely frivolous: Who has a higher post count than number of books in your Logos library?

A few months ago I noted that I was soon going to be in the situation where my post count exceeded the number of resources in my Logos library. I didn't notice when that actually happened, but it has. Though I do have a book buying habit, I haven't been able to keep up with my forum usage.

My post count (before I posted this): 4652

My library size: 3384.

Just out of curiosity, who else has a higher post count than resource count?

And just so you all know, this is an utterly meaningless statistic, and it's better to spend our time using our Logos resources than either buying more or posting on the forum.

Well... I could change my email associated with my account... that would do the trick. [6]

I'm not even close. I have been spending too much money or not posting enough. [:D]

Uh oh...I only have 1300 resources in my library....the rest is obvious. [:P]

I guess at this point I have spent way too much money on logos and not nearly enough time here trying to learn to use it.

For the Posts - Thank you - they have been and will be useful

(same comment to all of the others with STARS)

For the Library size - How many have you read cover to cover? (I am up to twenty or so)

I have Platinum with 1868 size - not too many posts but 423 commentaries that I am trying to figure out which ones to trust.

Anyone / Everyone that posts here first, before purchase!!! [:)]

With 281 posts against over 2,000 resources, I have too far to go and too little profound to say to have more posts than resources.

I would add my appreciation for Rosie's posts. They have always been among the most helpful and given in a very Christ-like manner.

I can be as totally meaningless as anyone else!

If you are getting the number of resources by looking at the small number that looks grayed out, it says I have 641 resources. That is with the Scholar's package, plus several Lutheran commentaries, additional reading books, etc.

Resources around 2300 +. I know I may never read everything that I have, but I get it in case I need it. It is like a library. You never know when you will need that chapter in a book to research a particular topic.

I've read 12 from cover to cover (I tag them with FINISHED so I can easily find them again). However all of these I read in paper form before I got them in digital form in Logos, so I guess they don't count. I'm working my way through my first cover-to-cover read in Logos now, the New Testament and the People of God by N.T. Wright, kind of as an experiment in seeing how highlighting in Logos as I read will change my experience of reading and how much I retain. However I must admit I prefer to use Logos more for researching than for sustained reading. I'd rather sit in a comfy chair and read a paper book. But I've read lots of short excerpts (articles, book chapters, encyclopedia entries, etc.) in Logos when I was studying some topic or looking up a person or something. They just don't get counted.

Can I count the ones that I gave up on prior to reaching the end if I read over 50%? [8-|]

I have completed about six or seven and abandoned another four or five.

Does Philip Schaff's "History of the Christian Church" count as 8? It was originally 8 volumes published as one Logos resource. Just curious, I haven't even finished volume 1 yet.

I like Rosie's idea of tagging them as Finished when I complete them.

I like Rosie's idea of tagging them as Finished when I complete them.

I actually got that idea from someone else, and the further idea (which I also use) of having three categories of tags: TOREAD, READING, and FINISHED. I have 7 books tagged as TOREAD right now, but surely I want to read a lot more, just haven't gotten around to tagging them yet.

I have a layout called reading, with a selection of books, and another called to read. I put any books into that that my homepage recommends and that interest me. I like the idea of finished. I must have finished about 5. I turn to my Reading page when I would previously have worn myself out wasting the time on computer games.

I might add that the number is not important in relation to the library size because that is about half of what I purchased with the intention to read in full!

My post count is far below the rather silly amount of resources I've amassed. My eyes will be long gone well before I read through half of it.

In Logos, I've completely read through:

Christian History Mag Issue 1
I Call it Heresy
Life Lessons: Bk of Mark
The Plan of Salvation: 5 Lectures
Rut, Rot, or Revival
The Warfare of the Spirit
Whatever Happened to Worship?
ESV

I'm progressing through:

YLT
NRSV Apocrypha
I Never Knew that was in the Bible
You Can Understand the Bible Seminar
A Concise History of Christian Thought

In the Que are 38 "toread"s, not counting the recent Greek and Hebrew studies.

I'd be farther along, but have been recently been balancing pursuing work, taking its-not-a-masters classes, and reading through a large stack of physical books that I bought at the Orange Conference 2010--I think family and church are somewhere in that equation too.

I kind of miss the kinship of "fellow readers" that the Logos Global Bible Reader software used to offer; the forum is as close as I seem to get to that since L4 fielded.

Logos has heard your cry and come to the rescue. The new requirement to maintain an MVP star will be to buy one title for every new post we make.[:D]

To aid the MVP panel in keeping with the new rules Logos has listed a bunch of Pre-Pubs with books for less than $10 each:

Classic Commentaries and Studies on Psalms (35 Vols.) http://www.logos.com/products/prepub/details/6738
Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud Collection (50 Vols.) http://www.logos.com/products/prepub/details/6667
Bible Lessons International - OT Volumes (10 Vols.) http://www.logos.com/products/prepub/details/6614
Selected Works of George Stanley Faber (7 Vols.) http://www.logos.com/products/prepub/details/6657
Lewis Sperry Chafer Collection (9 Vols.) http://www.logos.com/products/prepub/details/6659
Classic Commentaries and Studies on Job (18 Vols.) http://www.logos.com/prepub

This is just a sampling, but you get my drift. But one does wonder if the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud Collection will show as two resources or 50.

EDIT:

My post count is far below the rather silly amount of resources I've amassed.

Silly, you say? ...Hmm. [^o)] If you want to get serious, I'm willing to pay the transfer fee and shrink that library of your's.
