About me I'm 37, female, and have a very hard time describing myself in short, pithy phrases that fit into profiles like this one. :-D

Nagarjuna/Hypberborean here. Thank you for the welcome. You have a very interesting library. It looks like we have several things in common. I'm particularly impressed with your books on Islam and especially about muslim women. A book I recommend you to read is Women in World Religions, edited by Arvind Sharma. Come to think of it, I would also recommend Muslim Politics by Eickelmann & Piscatori, and Mystical Islam by Julian Baldick (if you haven't read them already).

Thanks for your comment. I wanted to tell you, too, that I envy your collection of texts on various religions. Were you a religious studies major in college?

With the SW books - I'm like an alcoholic working at the Jack Daniels factory. I'm trying to resist the SW Vault - a lot of them turn up at Half Price and as Bargain titles - and my employee discount helps(or hurts, I can't decide). It must be proof that not even a CGI-crazed GL can ruin the SW universe, no matter how hard he tries. The novels often give more depth and life than anything you seen on screen.
"See" you around, here or at ORS.
