Ah, marvelous - St John of the Cross. I'm anxious to hear what you think of him.

Wow! How many books IS that? And have you read most of them?

I also have added some good books to my library recently. I 'rescued' The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and a book by Einstein on Relativity from being sold to Half Price Books, and while there selling the books I forced myself to let go of, I got The Sound and the Fury. I have read none of them, but I am excited about the idea.

You are right about lending people books, you know. I thought it didn't bother me, but that was when I thought I was missing many fewer than I discovered that I was.
So, I concede that point.
