About meI am an architect and interior designer originally from Louisiana but now living in New York. That pretty much explains half of my collection. I am a book addict and cannot go into a book store for fear of draining my entire bank account.

About my libraryMost fall into the following categories: Fiction/Literature, Fantasy/SciFi, Architecture, Cooking, Football, and Nature.

You can follow my reading at Club Read 2009.

I saw your post about visiting Seattle in late summer, if by any chance you will be in Seattle on Labor Day Weekend and you don't mind crowds...wait you live in NY so crowds won't scare you off...OK, then you really should spend some of the weekend at Seattle Center for our Bumbershoot Festival - music, performance art, food, poetry, drum circles, crafts - and the weather is usually quite good that weekend so it is a really good time.

Shoot me a note if you want any restaurant or hotel or things to do suggestions, I'm happy to help.

BTW - LOVE the bunny!
Hello Jane--I just saw your introduction on Club Read, and thought I'd stop by to say a personal welcome. We lived in N.O. for 18 years--my husband went to Tulane Architecture School and I went to Tulane Law School. Where in La. are you from? He worked for a firm in New Orleans til 1986, when we moved to Seattle, where we are now. His primary focus is hospitals.

Our oldest son lives in NYC, and likes it a lot. How about you?

Looks like we have somewhat similar reading tastes--we share 61 books.

Hi, Jane!
Welcome to the Presidents Challenge!
If you have any question, suggestions, or insights, please be sure to post them on the General thread for all. We are using a ticker thread to keep track of each persons progress (you don't have to make a ticker, some just put a list of which presidents they've done) and a thread for each president so that we can discuss the books for each guy without getting confused. We also have threads for background info such as children, first ladies, and nonspecific background like cabinet members or military support, etc.

We're glad you joined us! Have fun and good reading!
Cheli
p.s. hope you have a good book to cuddle up with during this snowstorm. CD
Hi Jane -

Thanks for sending me a message. I recently had a couple come by my table at a booksigning. They were a little spooked since her name was Jane and his was Tom - the names of the couple in the book. :)

I hope you win! I have regular giveaways on my blog - www.scobberlotch.blogspot.com - too - so if you don't win here, pop over some time.

Best,

K. Harrington

p.s. - Tim O'Brien is one of my favorite authors, too!
Thanks for adding BannedBooksLibrary to your Interesting Libraries. Happy Reading!
