About meI'm a book worm from way back. I read and write for a living...I consider myself very lucky to have the job that I do.

About my libraryIt's a mixture of favourite old books, books for work and books for fun. See if you can guess which is which!

Julie, I'm so glad to hear you're a Ransome fan. I meet very few Canadians who are familiar (my family's English) and they were such a staple of my childhood I'm always pleased to hear that from someone else. Since you're an a/b scholar, have you read his biography? He had an interesting life.

Re: Mtneering lit --

Thanks for the comment! Most of our mtneering books are now catalogued -- although there are a number of guidebooks and instructional books to go. Do you climb?
