About me Born in UK, I've spent most of my adult life living and working in Africa (Sudan, Kenya, Uganda and South Africa) in various sectors - education, church, peace, human rights, humanitarian aid and development. I'm passionate about railways and I'm a main line steam locomotive fireman in South Africa. And I'm also passionate about my better half, Jane.

About my library My non-fiction collection probably falls into three main categories: (1) railways, related to my hobby; (2) and (3) spirituality and Sudan/Africa, related to my work. My taste in fiction is eclectic. My books are currently divided between two continents, so the LT online catalogue is very useful for me.

Kizzie
Actually, I'm the second. My friend (Daliya) introduced me to it.
I'm Sudanese:)
John,
I think we might be safe enough combining it, as I bought it on board a few years ago as well; and it was a guide book/potted history combination. Hopefull the cover image will jog your memory.

Hello,
Just added my guidebook for the HMS Belfast
http://www.librarything.com/work/4145652
and I'm wondering if this is the same one you have - if so I'll combine them
Thanks, Donogh
Glad that my page is useful. There's lots of stuff hidden away in LT: in some ways it's frustrating, and in others it's like finding a nugget of gold. I sometimes think that having stuff scattered about encourages people to go exploring or to ask questions and get involved with the community, and contemplate distributing my tips around.
Hi,

I see you have Denis Hurley's memoirs. If you look in my library you will see two other books about or by him which may be of interest. One is writings of his and the other reflections about him.
Hi John, We have several interests in common, though I'm more familiar with the French-speaking countries in Africa.
Hey John - saw you in this month's 'Railway Magazine'
Brueggemann is hugely inspirational, though I've had to leave him alone for a while now - basically I'm reading very little outside my doctoral research which is in Paul. As a child I lived in Kenya - tho I was too young to remember it - and Ghana, and am married to a South African. My father worked in the railways all his life. I've kept an interest in things african - and things of the global "South" in general. But yeah, somehow our libraries don't interconnect too much!
Great library John. Our interests are similar. Sudan is a common interest.
