Howdy,

I'm happy you found something of interest in my library, and that you let me know about it.

Take it easy,

I enjoy all of Michael Gilbert's books but I think "The Long Journey Home" is a little bit different from the others. I have limited space for books so one of the criteria I judge on is "worth rereading". This is a book I have enjoyed each time I've read it.

I am pleased you find my library interesting. It is a bit different from other libraries on this site, since it only includes books I have read. Books I own but have not read in full are not included

If you haven't read it yet, I recommend "The List of Adrian Messenger". - Phillip MacDonald.

Thanks for your kind remark about my savoury review. I enjoyed Riddle of the Sands immensely, as I hope was apparent.

Brive, Thank you for writing me! If you like the Mr. Calder and Mr. Behrens volue, you probably also have the previous collection of their stories Game Without Rules.
It is a massive task to enter my library into Library Thing, and I suspect only 10 - 15 % has been entered - I calculate I have around 25 to 35 thousand books! Most of what you see is what I have purchased through Amazon in the last 13 years, as there is an easy import facility for Amazon purchases. The completion of my personal inventory of over 40 years purchasing or being presented with books looks almost impossible to me!
The Stalingrad book is actually a pre-purchase as it will be released in April or May. There are about 40 more of these pre-orders in the library.
By the way, I only lived in Chicago the first 3 weeks of my life - my parents were Puerto Rican students with grants to do post-graduate studies in the University of Chicago where they got married and my older sister and me were born.
Best regards, Enrique F. Bird
