About meI've kept my own mini-review site (www.wallack.us) for a few years and I decided to give LibraryThing a try. I don't propose to try to catalog my entire library (way too big of a job; plus I'm doing that for myself using BookCAT [http://www.fnprg.com], by far the most detailed book catalog software available). I'd originally planned to limit my use of LibraryThing to books that I read going forward, but after seeing how easy LibraryThing is to use (how's that for a plug?), I decided go ahead and copy my reviews from my personal website.
Please visit my pesonal website (http://wallack.us), the Big Country Book of Lyrics (http://wallack.us/bc), and my new blog (http://wallack.us/blog.html).
About my libraryI'm a book collector focusing primarily on thrillers (leaning toward espionage) and some fantasy/sci-fi series. I am a huge James Bond fan (focusing more on the books than the movies) and I think that Quiller is the best espionage series that nobody has ever read. While I enjoy hardbacks, I tend to limit my collection to paperbacks. I also read books on various eBook devices (I'm a sucker for eBook hardware). Presently, I've been using my Sony Reader (PRS505 which I like much better than the PRS500). I still like my Palm eReader, but the battery on my Sony Clie won't hold much of a charge anymore, so reading an eBook on the Clie becomes an exercise in frustration. I also have two old RCA REB 1100 (one upgraded to a GEB 1150), but I don't use it that often anymore (although it is still a great device). And just for yucks, I bought an RCA REB 1200 on eBay (cool device, but boy is it heavy...).
If anybody wants to buy me a Kindle to try...

I only recently joined LibraryThing, i've added all of the books I currently own and all of the books i've ever read and intened to read. And you appeared in my top similar libraries so I thought i'd have a look at what kinds of books you read, as I saw your library was a lot bigger than mine.
A couple of weeks ago a film was on the TV called 'Dune', it said it was based on a novel, I couldn't get into the film. You gave the Dune series a good few reviews, so I think i'll look out for it ;)

I'm brand new to this Librarything thing, not yet certain what it does, but apparetnly one thing it does is connect people with similar interests, based upon books. Can't be bad, huh?

I did read a pretty eye opening book about the holy lands called "Holy Land Who's Land" by Dorothy Drummond. I thought see presented the sides pretty well, again not knowing all the facts.
I think from my prospective, he at least presented both sides. Which to me was refreshing.
Thanks again for commenting. I can always use it.
BTW, Drummond does not attempt to answer the question her book poses.

I thought he did - Mauder the cop again?
Any Adam Hall you'd specifically recommened? I've read one a long time ago, which I recall quite liking.
