Thanks for selecting my library, featherbear. Yours is quite impressive as well; I'll add yours to my list.

With your diverse interest, you might be interested in joining the Club Read group, which has a small group of more selective readers.

Best wishes,

Darryl

I'm VASTLY relieved! I used to be always reading Dickens but have sort of slacked off since I'm on my third time through the opus. Nobody like him!
I'm interested to see your books on religion too. (I was a Bible and Religion major first.)
Off to feed the cats! I'll hope to see you around.

WHAT good books we have in common!!! I see the Dickens picture and Ackroyd biography, but no fiction in our common holdings. (I always forget to actually look through somebody's library before I start a message....) I hope that you read the man himself. He was a master of the language whatever else he was. If you're actually still here, talk to me!
