About me I am a photographer and a bit of a poet-type writer, too. Reading is a great pleasure to me (when I am awake, that is).

About my library I love books and I collect them for that reason.

There is no real way of describing my library except to say it is an extension of my addiction for ideas, imagination, and information. Most of what I own is stuff that looked interesting to me at the time. I indulge in classics, contemporary literature (postmodernism), art (surrealism especially), reference (factoids), and so many other things that I love to pore over. I even go to used bookstores (where I get most of my books) to relax and unwind from a stressful day at work.

Cool! I've only been to Bay Books once (being deathly afraid of that bridge). My LibraryThing evangelizing has come to nothing, I'm afraid - even with bookstore and library employees. I'm tempted to print out LT bookmarks to stick them in new books.

I thought about forming a local group a year ago but decided there weren't enough people then to keep it afloat. I hope you get a good turn-out!

Thanks for recommending Nina's Books to me. I managed to stop by there today since I was in the area anyway (and couldn't leave without a few books, of course).

Likewise! I see you enjoy the local indie bookstores. It has been years since I've been able to browse bookstore shelves (a consequence of having a small child in tow). At least with the library, I can reserve any book online and have it waiting for me up front. :)

I hope you like it!

Hi. You have an impressive library. We share 40 titles. I have to ask which novel you found more difficult: Gravity's Rainbow or Ulysses? I have read only the former and would like to have some idea as to the challenge presented by Ulysses (effort/reading time). Cheers.

Excuse my hebetude in realizing we are the only 2 to share this book. I'm sorry if this made my reply costive (1st meaning not the 2nd!) Thanks for giving me a chance to take out the book and use it! Kathy

Hello! The names in your author cloud suggest to me that you might be interested in the Book, Game & Media Swap coming up on March 6, put on by the San Diego Sci-Fi/Fantasy Meetup.
