It appears we share 107 books, thought I'd take a peak and say hi. We made it to Whidbey Island last fall and wandered in Seattle for a bit. You guys have some great bookshops.

I found you because you also have a copy of "Unmarried to Each Other" by my friends Dorian and Marshall, and I can't help but noticed we have a lot of what I consider some of my most cool books in common.

Ian MacDonald's Revolution in the Head is a great book on The Beatles recordings. I am reading the Spitz biography now and it seems pretty good. Happy holidays!

We have in common Calvino, Gorey, Anthony Powell, Broyard, Updike among 36 works. I browsed randomly from fun stats and came across your (combined ) quite tasteful collection! I immediately ordered the interview with Gould.
I see that Pauline Kael's collections (from the New Yorker) are a complete set.
I should read some of her reviews instead of that Anthony Lane.
Is the scanned complete New Yorker worth it, for bookreaders? I have been thinking for months about getting it.
Yours.

Yeah, Christopher Moore is awesome. Haven't read the new one yet. Started 'Fluke' but got sidetracked. So many books... so little time.

An easel to display "Little Nemo" on is a great idea! I don't have one, but...hmm, something to think about for the future.

Lucky lucky you, going to Powell's. I've never been; I would love to go even if my spending limit was $1.00. The no spending limit part is just a pipe dream, really... ::grin::

Hi! I see you also own a copy of "Little Nemo In Slumberland: So Many Splendid Sundays." Isn't it an amazing book? What I'm wondering, now that this gigantic but lovely thing is in my home...where on earth to *keep* it? I was wondering, where do you keep yours? There's no bookshelf I own that it would actually fit in. :-)

Glad you liked my tarsier! He does have "one of those faces", doesn't he? But then, people always swear they "know me from somewhere", so I can relate.

The teapot is lovely!

It's interesting to see how many of these libraries intersect as "similar". We have at least a couple in common.

PS Lovely elephant - I would post a more personal picture than Byron, but my elusive grasp of modern telecommunications doesn't yet extend to photographs. Sometimes I can only just manage words.
