What a lovely picture and an even lovelier library you have!
As the only other person I've seen on LT so far who shares "637 Best Things Anybody Ever Said" by Robert Byrne with me among my stacks I welcome you heartily to my "interesting libraries" collection. :)

I'm glad you like my website!
I found you on the fan page on Facebook. It'a amazing how many books you have!
I'm very new here and I was curious to learn more about the community members. I'm doing research about Librarything.com and other online networks that are related to books and libraries. Maybe you can help me as well!
Would you mind answering a couple of question about your Librarything experience?

I have to live with myself, and so,
I want to be fit for myself to know;
I want to be able as days go by
Always to look myself straight in the eye;
I don't want to stand with the setting son
And hate myself for the things I've done.
I don't want to keep on a closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself as I come and go
Into thinking that nobody else will know
The kind of man I really am;
I don't want to dress myself up in sham.
I want to go out with my head erect
I want to deserve all men's respect;
But here in the struggle for fame and pelf,
I want to be able to like myself.
I don't want to think as I come and go
That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show.
I never can hide myself from me,
I see what others may never know,
I never can fool myself -- and so,
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience free."

Unfortunately, we are short on eclectic bookstores in Los Angeles. It's one of the reasons I miss living in New York. There are Dutton's (11975 San Vicente Blvd in Brentwood), Book Soup (8818 Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood), and Vroman's (695 E. Colorado Blvd in Pasadena).
What's your conference?

Browsing for LT members who tag "mythology," I came across your impressive collection and websites. I'm resisting the temptation to import your entire mythology catalog into my wish list. Thanks in advance for the recommendations!
