About meMy name is Cynthia. I love to read all sorts of books--paper and digital. (I read on the Kindle 1 and the Kindle DX which also accomodates PDF books.) I'll start reviewing books in my library soon.

About my libraryNot all books have been catalogued.

My library consists of an extensive collection of books on comparative religion and Christian theology, including the Logos Gold Scholar's Library software collection; cookbooks and cookery; food and gastronomy; and health and exercise.

I also enjoy reading about computers, technology, science, history, and, last but not least, cats. (I live with five of them.)

With respect to fiction, I read both classic literature and contemporary fiction, as well as mysteries and short stories.
