About me"A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life." - Henry Ward Beecher

About my libraryMy library consists of a variety of books. I have hardbacks, paperbacks, and leather bound books. My tastes run toward Fantasy, Science Fiction, Humor, Horror, Historical Fiction, Mysteries, Graphic Novels, British History, Sociology, Art, Cinema, Illustrated books, and Literature. Whatever I read needs to be a little unusual to keep my attention.

Some of the books in my catalog belong to my husband. I plan on reading all of his books that interest me.
