About My Library

I'll read almost anything*, but any more I tend to only own non-fiction books: Bird books, pet care books, psychology books; books on teaching, genealogy, or photography. And, of course, my Buddhist library.

I used to, only half-joking, tell everybody who would listen that I was a Fahrenheit 451 baby. To me, books are near-on sacred! I have always proclaimed that anything you could ever possibly want to know was in a book, somewhere. Getting lost in the stacks was a constant hazard for me in college and grad school!

So many books, so little time. . . .

*actually, that's not true. I won't read, on principle, any novel whose front flap describes the men by the contents of their characters and the women by their success at the mandatory performance of femininity. Nor will I read anything whose plot hinges on a male protagonist avenging or rescuing a female victim. That goes double for novels with multiple female victims.

About Me

Avid reader, widow, retired clinical psychologist, college instructor, amateur genealogist, birder, photography hobbyist.

You can also find me out there in the fediverse as @LowlyAdjunct@mastodon.social and on Bookwyrm as @SoManyBooks@bookwyrm.social
