About me I live, breathe & eat books; wish i still worked in a bookstore (and almost got a job in a library!); write books; write in books (pencil only); have friends who write books; edit friends' books. I love the experimental, the obscure, the activist and the whimsical. Sometimes I buy a book I already have. Sometimes I lose a book I love. I lend books like pennies. I guess that's why they call me delirium.
About my library Ever-changing. Full of obsessions, past and present: modernist women's poetry; the Silk Road; film; classical Greece; Anne Carson; Sally Potter; visual culture; women artists; mythology and fairy tales, eco-living; graphic novels. Always trying to make space for what's coming next, always browsing, rereading, sharing.
In the throes of a serious AbeBooks addiction as I try to work out my next project. Thinking about a new more abstract set of tags: hopeful, passionate, alive...

When I first noticed your name around LT, I thought it was probably a reference to the Sandman. I don't have any of the Sandman series, because once I start buying them, I'll have to get them all and I can't afford them right now (especially since I've already read at least half of them). I think Death is my favorite character, though Delirium is certainly endearing:)
Yes, Gaiman and Woolf seem pretty far apart. I was once very interested in Woolf back in college, and Lighthouse remains one of my favorite books. But I have to say that overall I like Gaiman more.
Your library looks excellent. I've made note of a couple books I want to look for to add to my own library (thanks!) We share some other works that are titled differently (the Keats comes to mind). And I'm a Firefly/Serenity fan; I have the DVDs, comics, and Serenity book, and have knitted Jayne hats. (I guess that's enough to claim browncoat status.)
Anyhow, I'm happy to "meet" you:)
Maggie

Unfortunately, there's not much printed information currently available on Leonor Fini (even the website I captured this particular image from is no longer in existence). In my catalog, you'll find a book by Esther Selsdon. It's inexpensive and not a bad introduction: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/403132 I also own a documentary film by Belgian director Chris Vermorcken, titled 'Leonor Fini: Portrait of an Artist' (Films Dulac, 1987) that's rather nice. Most of the European publications devoted to Fini that I know of are out of print and now absurdly expensive. But her lithographs, etchings, etc. still sell well and I imagine it's only a matter of time before Leonor Fini receives once again the attention and adulation she so enjoyed.
Off to check out what you've added to your library!
Kind regards,
MT

You have a very interesting collection yourself, and I love your "I live, breathe & eat books; work in a bookstore; write books; write in books (pencil only); have friends who write books..."! I could have said the same, except that I had to give up working in bookstores when I found I couldn't make ends meet. But I sometimes get to edit them.
