Dear Geoffrey, I continue to be struck by common interests between our collections. Today's seven 'Random Books from gtross's Library' include six in mine as well, whereas two of your recently rated books are among those I've been curious to read. Thanks for the reminder - it's a pleasure to check in on your LibraryThing page from time to time. ~ BunnyElder
