About me Am in my early 40s, married, no kids unless you count 3 spoiled cats and an iguana. Besides a persistent tendency to read I have been known to occasionally travel, hike, photograph, make jewelry, cross country ski, ride motorcycles and drive fast cars. I also have a love of food and wine.
My other obsession is movies...when I'm not reading or doing one of those other things, I'm watching a movie. If there were a MovieThing...I'd be there, too, cataloging away.

Oh look. a Wiki page http://www.librarything.com/wiki/index.p...
About my library If you’re looking for method or correctness, this is not the library for you. I buy books on a whim, but stick with authors I like until they disappoint me {coughPatriciaCornwellcough}. Some years I buy a lot of books, some years I don’t (that whole no money thing sure is a drag, huh?). Sometimes I purge my collection. Once nearly all my books were stolen. I rarely ever give books away.
Turn ons include thrillers and books about crime with an occasional foray into some historical fiction and what I would call “quality modern literature”. I like a good detective series, but not too many because there is only so much time to read and collect and remember the characters. My lust for coffee table books must be reigned in with discipline. Turn offs include romance, fantasy, “heartwarming” Oprah choices and classics labeled as such because they are merely old.
Some tag info -
hb = standard hardback size
mmpb = mass market paperback
tpb = trade paperback
shb = hardback with the page size of a tpb (these bug me!)
lhb = hardback larger than standard, but not a coffee table
ospb = over or odd sized paperback
ken = books owned by my husband Ken
cover scan = actual scans of my books, fascinating huh?
lovcov = covers that I particularly like or was drawn to
Reading habits: I always have a few books going. Almost always fiction and different enough to suit my individual moods. I can read riding in the car or a plane or waiting for my turn in the dentist chair. My commute is about 110 miles round trip so audio books are a lifesaver.
For many years I have kept a Book Journal because my memory for things is pretty poor. That’s where I get most of my review material. I try not to include plot-spoilers.
So…enjoy. Have a laugh at my weird taste. Drop me a comment or two. Then leave me alone and let me get back to my book.
Cheers!

However, I do have an answer to your question, "Would a modern populace still go to these absurd lengths to force their ancient, cryptic texts to come true?"

Glad you agree about Invisible Prey. I emailed John Sandford's website yesterday and spoke to the webmaster. Apparently Sandford has considered killing off Weather but he has discovered that 50% of his fans LOVE Weather and so he thinks that by killing off Weather, he would alienate half his fans. I told the webmaster that perhaps an attempted murder and a permanent coma might be in order instead!!!

As for P. K. Dick I think the only one of his I've read is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, which I found enjoyable. Not sure if I would in my present frame of mind though.

I just noticed that you completed the Series field for Fethering Mysteries. Unfortunately you didn't put the book in brackets i.e. Fethering Mysteries (book 1) and so the books each received a Series page. I was so bold to correct it ^^.
Happy reading!

I just wanted to let you know that we share a love for Pete Steele. I saw the comment (and wonderful pics) you left in the GD thread. Several years ago I saw them in concert and a friend of mine got back stage, sadly I did not. However, he told Pete that I was a little obsessed with him. Pete asked my friend to give me a present, it was a signed copy of bloody kisses that said "Kelly (my name), kiss these lips. love, Pete Steele. I'm older and married now...but still sigh when I see a pic of him, especially if it is from his playgirl layout :)
have a good day!

I saw we had a lot of books in common, so when I have time I am going to look for some recommendations in your library!
Have nice day!

Read your comment in Happy Heathens. Just wanted to say well done. I was lucky not to be born into a religious family. Whilst I am pleased about that now it's also a bit scary not knowing if I could have worked things out for my self if I had been.
Kudos to you.
Regards,
Mark
