About meI'm a southern Christian who's addicted to books and enjoys languages, world history, theatre and nature. I'm also a professional librarian in an academic setting.

About my libraryIt's extremely eclectic, with volumes ranging from historical fiction to mystery to current sociopolitical issues to horticulture. Basically, it includes anything that intrigues me.

I quite liked The Neverending Story, was surprised to see that the point where the movie ends is not far into the book. So there's much more than that to read. I liked the writing too. You should give it a try, but I suggest you do read it when you're in the mood for that kind of story. :)
Been sick since the weekend AND trying to get ready for a BBQ/going away party we're hosting for friends @40 people May 16 -- ack! :)
Glad you're still out there even if you don't have time for LT -- I'm thinking that could be a good thing... but I hope you find a bit of time to read!!
