About meI work too much but hope to retire someday soon* and read more. My pleasure reading is often done on the exercise machines after work. My tastes in books are ever-changing, which I hope means I'm continuing to evolve rather than being eternally undecided.
*Since writing this, I have a retirement plan. 2010. A fabulous senior co-housing project in Grass Valley, CA starting construction in 2009. Check it out at wolfcreeklodge.org. I can hardly wait. More reading, more fun, more life.

About my libraryMy virtual library includes many books I own and have read or hope to read and others I have read but don't currently own, as I can recall them. Many of the books in my library are books chosen by my book club members, whose tastes have been eclectic and enlightening. Our small (5-8) group started in 1991, all women, with 3 original members still a part.

A Yellow Raft in Blue Water: A Novel by Michael Dorris

Noticed you liked The Glass Castle, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a dysfunctional family and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to learn a little more about the book before you commit:
