About meOld soul packaged in a young-ish body. Multidisciplinary personality forced to become a specialist in a society that has little regard for the multivariate. Night person by nature living in a world that operates by daylight. In a word: outlier.
About my libraryMy library is a reflection of my wide ranging interests in both the physical and the non-physical. I suppose you might call it eclectic, but that sounds so much more elegant than it really is.
It will likely take months to get all of my books up, so I will be adding a few here and there when I have the time. I have not gone to great pains to put the actual editions up on my "shelves," since many of my books are in boxes and I am doing this off the top of my head, but eventually I will get them squared away. Feebly working on tags, as well.

On my new home page I saw you just added "Over the Mountains (An Aerial View of Geology)" and gave it five stars. Could you tell me a little about it?
Cheers,

"Normally, I do find geo folks to be chatty, so the silence here seems strange to me. Perhaps it has more to do with the fact that there are only 33 of us? I don't know, but science and public policy is a topic that has been weighing heavily on my mind lately and I thought I'd see what the other 32 of you think. "
Yeah, that geology group is pretty quiet here. You might get some interesting answers in "Pro and Con"... just a thought.

Goodness, I hope not! I think mineralogy hovers somewhere between and obsession and torture. :D I did my time point counting sandstones. Months of doubt and frustration all for a (fairly interesting) little table in my thesis. Cheers,d

Yes, the best part is to find new stuff... or I think it is. I'm on a readers-block at the moment which makes new stuff some how intimidating. Actually I'm slowly recovering from the block, I think. It's work induced. I had a good week last week, now it's stressful again. oh well.
Funny, I hesitated a long time before putting my "serious" geology books in. I was afraid it would warp my stats :}. But, then I decided I should start adding everything in.

--KRT,
I had been entering all the books I owned - not just the ones I bought there - on amazon.com for years, in hopes that the recommendation engine would suggest interesting things. Since LibraryThing supports ISBN import from amazon.com, that made it fairly easy to get a good chunk of the books rapidly. Unfortunately, I have to enter all the ones without ISBNs manually, and correct things like edition numbers, covers, etc.
I like libraries like yours that display some diversity - like Applied Hydrogeology on the smae shelf as The Bell Jar. And people who can use "multivariate" in a sentence, yet know that bentonite is sticky.
