About meTAKE 1:
Hippie child in search of spiritual transcendence evolved into radical activist in search of the revolution to end all revolutions. Somewhat mellowed by the vagaries of realpolitiks and by years of working with both victims and offenders in the criminal justice system, I'm currently in the belly of the beast as a government consultant in search of a viable savings account...
TAKE 2:
Dedicated bookworm and music collector, avid gardener, DIY home renovator, sometime local activist, feminist, legal beagle, wannabe artist, public policy analyst, and more! Call me "renaissance grrl."
About my libraryMy library is a continual work in progress, and while the majority are uploaded, some still need proofing for accurate publication and cover information. Note: unlike a growing trend I've recently noticed on this site, these are not "virtual" previously-read or wishlist titles, but actual books I own.
My collection is almost exclusively non-fiction; heavy on political and critical theory, philosophy, hermeneutics, the sociology of knowledge, women's studies, gender theory, depth psychology, religious studies, and mysticism. As a former foodie, I've also got a bunch of well-used cookbooks and wine manuals. And in fond memory of curling up with British armchair mysteries as a girl, I'm still hanging on to the collected works of Agatha Christie. tag view

Sorry about the delay in responding to your comment on my page. I landed on your page when checking out pages who had some of the same books, especially ones in the field of depth psychology. How I got from where I was to where I'm at is a long story, but in a nutshell, I didn't want to hurt my family any longer. My daughter knew that I would die because of a drug and alcohol use, and she was right had I continued. I was on the self-destructive path that all addicts are on without realizing it. Anyway, thanks for the kind words. I have a lot of articles on my website from the perspective of depth psychology, if you're interested. John

plus, waaay better bookstores in Canada. Last time we were in Vancouver we had to buy extra suitcases just so we could get all our books home!

To answer your question -- maybe. I don't think all conventionalisms are a bad thing. When I say alternative culture I mostly mean a certain species of nightlife. But phrased more politely for the elder generations. :)
Best,

I did actually mooch The Feeling of What Happens myself, so it is possible to do it. It's quite high on my tbr pile but not quite at the top, and I'll let you know when I've read it. Actually, it's moved up the pile a bit now, because it's always nice to know someone is actually interested in what you think of a book.

Wow, I’ve never been directly responsible for someone trying out a particular book before (as far as I know). I hope you enjoy it. Just let the craziness wash over you.
Regarding my reviews, you can check in at any time. Other than that, the new personal Home page defaults to tracking new reviews by people on your “interesting libraries” list, although I blush to recommend doing that.

Well, actually, not possessed of both kinds of genitalia. Rather, at least one or the other, I mean, exactly one or the other...Crap (goes to dig up Strunk & White...)
BTW, another book you might like (assuming you haven't already read it) is the Illuminatus trilogy.

All this and I’m good-looking too! Seriously, thank you for the kind remarks.
I’m glad you like the reviews. Regarding Steel Beach, perhaps the best thing about LT is the random collision with interesting books one might never have encountered otherwise. In my opinion Steel Beach is Varley’s best novel of the 8 or so of his that I’ve read. It has everything.
Also, it contains some sex-changing material (it’s a future in which people can change their sex like clothes) which, judging by your tags, you might find of particular interest, although that is incidental, not the focus of the novel.

Yeah, I should have included a message saying hi I know you from bookmooch. :0) Didn't mean to cause confusion.
I know what you mean about taking cooking classes from local chefs. In my old city I loved to do that. Now that I've established myself in NC with my fiancee, I think its time we headed out and looked around for some opportunities to do the same. I really want to hit up Johnston and Wales in Charlotte. I'm betting they have some killer "civilian" cooking classes.
