Hi, Kerry
RE.Someone Like Me: Tales from a Borrowed Childhood by Miles Kington.
Found your review when entering my recently acquired copy. The fiction giveaway is on the back of the title page -- "All characters in ths publication...."
Have you read anything by J.L.Carr? His foreword to "Harpole & Foxberrow General Publishers" has ensured that I always check that particular page.
Enjoyed the spy story while waiting for bus home.
Regards
Philip
FYI
I have uploaded a cover for Upton and the Army by Stephen E. Ambrose. This is from the 1964 Louisiana State University Press hardcover edition.
Ah. Sorry if I sounded like a spammer.
I notice most people do not make their usernames reflect their real names, what do you advise?
Hello, Kerry

I know of your Webb Watch column having read it for many years, sometimes the only thing I ever read in InCite actually.

You asked me about my poetry? (I think ... The comments feature on LibraryThing is clunky to me as a newbie)

The poems are slow to emerge and written in corners of time; someone said they are surrealist (Isolated States) ; the first collection was about my homeland (South Africa) and having to emigrate to a strange place I knew nothing about (Mt Moono in my imagination ... in reality, I discovered, a very different place, Tasmania). I got an Australia Council a year or so ago to write my third collection of poetry, which I am still working on. So... that's it. I write under my maiden name as my husband is also a writer; and so in the library world my name is Anne Hugo.

Am also playing around with Twitter as a way of gathering news for my youth-studies related newsletter, youth field xpress, twitter @annehugo. So that is me.

Thanks for asking (as I say, I THINK you asked ... when I looked at the comments page I was not so sure.)
Cheers
Anne
Hi Kerry

It sure is me - as you can see I don't look at comments very often.

How are things? Have you retired yet?

I don't know yet what to use Library Thing for so I am still playing. I want to keep track of titles I have borrowed as well as things I own so I may try other things.

By the way, I managed to use a text list I had catalogued before to generate the entries. Not as good as MARC but so what!

Cheers

Tony
Kerry,

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I have not logged into LT for a while.

I do not have my itinerary set yet. I am traveling on a Rotary International grant to visit libraries in the Canberra area, and I will be staying with Rotary members during my four weeks in Australia. When I know what towns I will be visiting, I will let you know.

All the Australian LTers and Australian librarians have been so helpful! I am looking forward to meeting some of you in person.

Hey Kerry - excellent to hear Abby's still in the country! I was worried she might have to belt straight back o/s after her talk. Hope she enjoys the game, if you can get her those tickets!! (And you too, of course :) ).

- fiona.
Someone posted a comment a few days ago, but it was deleted (by the system) before I could read it. I didn't ignore you B-)

So, if it was you and you wanted to get it to me, please send it again.

thanks
Thanks for your note, Kerry. I didn't know LibraryThing's Abby would be visiting Australia soon, shame Canberra's a bit far away for me. Hopefully they'll make some of the presentations available online. In the meantime, I'm still digesting the whole VLINT thing. I get the feeling I'm several iterations behind in this virtual worlds jazz ;)
