About my libraryThis library represents a collection of genius literary novels written substantially by immortal writers for serious readers. What's the point of investing your time in reading mainstream, commercial best-sellers which were never meant to satisfy more sophisticated readers.

I also was born in Woburn, Mass. (1931)*
I lived their through the seventh grade, and
have since lived in Tonga, and
in Hawaiʻi (2x) where I now live.
We may not have much else in common, but
your subtitles to "Bourbon St. ..." and to
2 of the "Bloomsday"s sound interesting.
I last saw Woburn in 1994. I had assumed
that the old business district ("Woburn Center")
would have long ago been dismantled, but
it was still there. There is a graduate of
Woburn High School in L T, one of the
Campbell family --under the screen
name Soupman, but probably not an
active member.
Of the authors, our friend Suzanne Romaine
a linguist, was also born in Woburn. And
Eric Bogosian, whom I havenʻt met.
