About meFifty plus years old and back in college.
About my libraryThe books with ISBN's were easy to enter, except for some strays in my wife's office, the rest are done, except for cookbooks. The cookbooks, mostly older books and pamplets, are going to take some time.

Saw your post on the History at 30,000 feet thread that you are getting Resistance--me, too. Do you know anything about the translator? I have not been able to find anything except her description of how she found the book.

I'd talk to the placement center. Companies always need bright people on hand.

For 9 years I lived in Huron, Ohio, near Sandusky, before relocating to Florida. My husband went to Miami.
Do you have an interest in slavery issues? If you are interested and have some time, you might check out my library under the tag: African American Cook Book. The contribution of African American women and men to our culinary heritage is finally becoming elevated to its proper station.
As a food historian there are other sub specialties that interest me: English language early Asian, Hispanic, French, Italian, so on.
You can see my "shop dawg" Jaime in the profile photo. We both love dogs. Thank you for contacting me. If you have any cookbook questions, give me a shout out. Best, Lynn

I had to return the compliment and add your library to my list of interesting ones; as we share 47 books in common, it's safe to say there are some areas of overlapping interest! Quite a lot, actually--looks as though we both like mysteries, sci fi/fantasy, history, and cooking, at least.
Your random list of books shows one by Roberta Isleib; I've been wondering how her books are. I think she's married to someone I used to work for, in the weird connections department.
Happy Holidays!

I don't know whether you have anything like the Open University over there? It's a wonderful organisation that allows people of any age (well, over 18) and any academic background to study from home for a real degree which is not only comparable to degrees from any other university but is considered by many employers to be superior as they realise OU students have often had to study while running a home, working full time, bringing up children, caring for elderly relatives etc, etc. The course for a full degree usually takes six years (that's part-time and the equivalent of three years' full time study) although many people take breaks in between (I took a year off at a time when I had a lot of other things happening and didn't think I'd be able to do the course justice), while some study full-time and graduate in three years or even less, so you can see it's all very flexible. I graduated in 2001, the year after my daughter graduated from 'normal' university. She was very proud of her achievement but I was practically bursting with pride over mine (and hers, too, of course). I used to work in Adult Education at one time so I'm a massive fan of returning to study.
My reasons for wanting to return to study were many and varied (as I'm sure yours are too) but one of them was obviously in order to progress within my career and that's how I justified the expense to myself. Unfortunately,a year into the course, I was hit with a major back problem that eventually meant my having to retire on health grounds. Much as I loved the work for my BA, I don't really think I can now justify going on to a Masters as I would have hoped to do - the courses aren't exactly cheap - but I will never regret what I have done so far. I do you get everything from your study that I did from mine - isn't it wonderful to know we're not 'over the hill'?

Indeed! Granted, ERB may not be a literary genius in his line-by-line writing, but if you go by the ability to touch lives and your work survive the years, surely he's stellar. Between Barsoom, Tarzan, and The Land That Time Forgot, he'll live forever.

All the characters in my books are adults and, while some of them have some issues stemming from childhood abuse, all of them have survived and are making their way through life, coping and healing. I think it's a positive message, that even if something bad happens to you, you can survive and heal and connect with other people, even heal others.
Like I said, essentially positive. I read a lot of SF as a kid, including Edgar Rice Burroughs. I supposed I've been unduly influenced by John Carter of Mars: "I still live!"
Hope you'll try me, or chat with me around here,
