About my libraryI catalog only books that I own, not those that I've borrowed and read. The word is a beautiful thing, but half of the pleasure of a library is derived from simply being surrounded by the books themselves.
My major interests demonstrated here include the classics, languages and linguistics, food, science and medicine, education, and children's literature. Yes, I have a lot of picture books. No, I don't have children. I think that this is entirely reasonable.
I also collect international editions of The Little Prince.

Try to contact Molly Bang. She has a very nice story to tell you about her career (I went to a book reading of her).

Thanks for adding me to your interesting libraries list. You know what's strange is that I grew up in Burlington!
best,

I notice you have a copy of The New Penguin Russian Course by Nicholas J Brown, which I also have and learned from.
Are you still studying Russian? If so, you might find Practical Russian Reader helpful. It is a new book of Russian short stories with helpful exercises.
Let me know what you think of it?

Thanks very much. Books about Books is my favorite genre, so I tend to gravitate towards that area of the bookstores. Unfortunately, I haven't actually ~read~ very much of them lately. I mostly use them as references, often, but that's as far as it has gone for several years. That's about to change, though. My current read is just that only because another member of LT saw that I just bought it (back in July, I think) and asked me to read it so she could read my review. Go figure... I'm a very slow reader, so I had to finish my then-current read to start my now-current read.
Once that's done, it'll be nothing except Books about Books until I absolutely have to read something else.
So far, we've got 19 books in common (a good start). Looking forward to seeing your catalog 'fleshed out'.
Good luck with your studies!
Mike
