About meMy elementary school library had a summer reading program every year. The summer between third and fourth grades one of my choices was David Copperfield by Charles Dickens -- yes, the unabridged version! I can still remember the librarian trying to direct me to something more "age appropriate." Of course, anyone who knows how stubborn I am can guess how well the re-direct went. Yes, I read that entire book if only to prove I could do it -- and I enjoyed it.
About my libraryMostly my books, but some titles represent my husband's reading interests. Just the tip of the iceberg listed so far. Scary.

I only read "The Chronicles of Narnia" for the first time a year ago last summer, at age 36, and sobbed all the way through them. Recently, I gave the series to a friend, age 48, who has never yet read them. He may have thought I was a bit off when I insisted "they changed my life forever." But, I meant it. He has gone through some very difficult changes this past year.
I can hardly wait to get my Charles Williams. And, I agree with gveach: I would rather have books than anything else in the world (outside of relationships and God, of course).

Thanks for the link to U of Az Press; I check them out on occasion, and I like the fact that they include download-able excerpts.

Thank you so much for your note on my email. I certainly appreciate you being 'floored' by McCarthy's Border Trilogy -- I was too, and I read all the literary criticism I can on those three books, as well as Blood Meridian. I recently finished McCarthy's Child of God, though I admit I liked his other Tennessee stories better, particulalrly Suttree.
Do you like poetry situated in the Southwest? I am always seeking poets who write of their natural environments, or situate life stories in regionalism, the way the late Richard Hugo did with the Pacific Northwest. As I mention on my sectionj of Library Thing, I am a Southwest regional poet. I left Tucson a couple of weeks ago, where I was visiting my daughter and grandson. Jeffrey
