About mePlease note that I do NOT take bookings for Banstead Community Hall -- people keep asking. You need Joanne Smith 01737 360568, josmithbca@hotmail.co.uk.
I've lived all my life to the South of London and been reading since 1938. I blame Enid Blyton & her Sunny stories. Now in my seventies I have rarely disposed of a book in my life and my current shed/computer room/CD store now contains over 4000 books.It drives my wife mad! When not reading, surfing or listening to all kinds of music - Mozart to Morton (Jelly Roll) I edit a newsletter for our local branch of University of the Third Age.

About my libraryA succession of enthusiasms through my life has left me with a collection of books on each topic. Somehow I have a metre of shelf on the I Ching and related, 12ft of poetry, and a foot of Richard Feynman

I have now enhanced my LibThing listing for Collison's books, and other early ones on indexing, by pasting in extracts from reviews in early issues of The Indexer, as well as first words and recommendations among them all. Great enhancement possible on LT!
Cheers,
Hazel

Not just the Corvo connection, but an interesting match of titles between our libraries. More than you might think, as hardly any of my "library" is listed.
It was the F. G. Rayer book that did it - A book that really impressed me when I first read it, probably when I was still at primary school. My father was a subscriber to the SFBC, and so I was reading their books as soon as I could reach them on the shelf - Asimov, Bradbury, Stapleton first: Then as I got older I moved on to "Janet and John".
I was also very interested in radio and electronics as a teenager: There was an F. G. Rayer who was a prolific author of construction articles in the British enthusiast magazines of the time, and I always wondered if it was the same person.
