About mehttp://overbooked.com
Librarian - Collection Management Administrator
I am a rabid, ravenous and omnivorous reader - I will go where the author takes me and am easily lost in a book. I am not a good critic or reviewer - I'm disgusting adaptable and pretty pleased with most books I read. I am good at associating books with readers. What little memory power I have is generally required for bookish details.

Great, Wide, Beautiful, Wonderful World
Great, wide, beautiful, wonderful World,
With the wonderful water round you curled,
And the wonderful grass upon your breast--
World, you are beautifully drest.
The wonderful air is over me,
And the wonderful wind is shaking the tree,
It walks on the water, and whirls the mills,
And talks to itself on the tops of the hills.
You friendly Earth! how far do you go,
With the wheat-fields that nod and the rivers that flow,
With cities and gardens, and cliffs, and isles,
And people upon you for thousands of miles?
Ah, you are so great, and I am so small,
I tremble to think of you, World, at all;
And yet, when I said my prayers to-day,
A whisper inside me seemed to say,
"You are more than the Earth, though you are such a dot:
You can love and think, and the Earth cannot!"

I noticed you the other day when I was looking for reviews or ratings on an author I had just noticed. When I clicked on your profile I started laughing at the books we have in common, since they're rather odd and unrelated.
Then when I noticed that we're both in Richmond I really thought it was odd. We also both run book groups online. A bit woo woo? Especially Louise Penny, who has joined in my group for a couple of chats.
We might need to get to know each other better or at least keep a DiNiro eye on each other LOL.
