About my libraryJust a few good friends and immediate interests. I read mostly fiction up to age 40, and now it's entirely nonfiction. Madly collecting sequential art, comics, graphic novels, which are closely aligned to poetry: It is with words as with sunbeams, the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn. -Robert Southey (1774-1843).

GroupsAncient China, Asian Fiction & Non-Fiction, BBC Radio 3 Listeners, BBC Radio 4 Listeners, Children's Fiction, Comics, DimSum Thing, Graphic Format Books, Hobnob with Authors, Homer, the Trojan war, and pre-classical Greece —show all groups, Opera, or Nobody Knows the Traubel I've Seen, Poetry Fool, Teachers who LibraryThing, The Globe, Writer-readers
