About meI am an early retiree from the addictions counseling field because I have a progressive and fatal lung disease. All the books I intended to read when I retired have been moved up a couple decades on my TBR list—as well as rereads of my favorites. As a result, I have several books in progress at any one time.

I am a 1982 charter member of the Library of America and, while I own every volume, I've not read them all (no kidding). My literary tastes are varied, but I prefer fiction and short stories.

About my libraryThe books listed in "My Library" are my "keepers"--books that I love, have sentimental value, or are TBR. The non-keepers have been donated to fundrasing events, nursing homes, or traded at a pre-owned bookstore.
