About meOakland Ca, 45, single, with 22 pound ginger mutt best friend named Sleepy.

I've read several books a month for most of my life. I seem to go in passion periods. I get a subject in my head and then want to read everything I can about it. For example, I saw "Eyes of Tammy Faye" and decided to learn everything I could about PTL, even though I had absolutely no connection to Heritage USA or televangelism.

Ireland as a subject is a big staple for me. Not the mythic Ireland but the authentic recent history, from celtic tigers to troubles.

Travelogues make up about 25% of my library. I read every one I learn about. Not sure why I like that genre so much.

About my libraryAlways looking for travelogue suggestions. And any book suggestions, really. ;-)
