About meI am an arcanophile and an information packrat. I don't collect objects (well, not on purpose) - what I like is data. I have a fairly large collection of sf paperbacks published between 1939 and 1970, because I love the cover paintings (more than the stories sometimes). I am currently reading in psychology, philosophy and archaeology (particularly rediscovery of lost manuscripts and underwater archaeology). In fiction, I am reading juvenile fantasies and SF mostly (and occasionally a 19th century novel - I like Collins and Le Fanu). Oh. Why 'Farree?' Andre Norton. 'Flight in Yiktor.' Check it out. (It was a spur-of-the-moment thing, but also a Freudian slip kind of thing, but wait! Freud's been discredited, right?)
About my libraryOkay. I think I have enough of this together to say a few words about the idiosyncrasies of my catalog here. I catalog only books I currently own. I try to include the cover pictures from the books (I scan them if necessary). Roughly two-thirds of the library is now catalogued. Next come computer books, followed by cookbooks. I am debating whether I should catalog my collection of recorded music (vinyl, cassette, CD).

Haven't been to Mount Angel, but would definitely be interested in taking a look at their library. John Johnston is a close friend of mine and my spiritual mentor. The book really doesn't do the man justice really. I'd love to chat sometime. I'll leave my AIM and MSN messenger in a private comment. Feel free to message me if you see me on.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have started working on my new book, but the day job (aka, the paying job) keeps getting in my way and it's really slow going! Therefore, lots of time for further research, because reading somebody else's book takes less energy than writing my own. I will definitely check out your suggested titles!

Thanks for stopping by!
I have hung onto Boy Who Saw True since 1973...loved it - it was my first introduction to anything "paranormal"!! (and the rest is history...

Thanks for joining the group, and yes, I'll be more than happy to hear from some of your Jung recommendations when you are finished from cataloguing them.
All the best,
Jose
