About meLT paid user (lifetime account) #27. Can you smell the authenticity?

About my libraryMuch of my library is currently distributed, with my family, with friends, and may take a while to round up. I've already done the 100-odd that I happen to have with me at my current residence, which, of course, consists mostly of the books I haven't gotten around to reading yet. Nonetheless, it's at least semi-representative.

Most of my stuff can be divided broadly into science fiction (and related), philosophy, religion and/or classics and/or Sanskrit, and education and/or philosophy thereof.

Since I've taken up photography, I've been consuming most of my books via audio, and fewer in print.

I saw you on the awful books conversation would you like to read the book "Ten Books That Screwed up the World" in a group?

I am reading for work ie research, which currently is on body modification. Sander Gilman's "Making the Body Beautiful" is a cultural history of cosmetic surgery, which is so interesting! For relaxation I have been reading Georgette Heyer's detective novels, currently "Why Shoot a Butler?". Also slowly working through some feminist theory on the body, Margaret Shildrick, who writes about bioethics.

haven't picked up a good comic for a long time. I went back to Doonesbury a couple of weeks ago and reread some of the old books of collections. Not familiar with Rose and Isabel. Must chase it up.

We have quite a few of my favourite books in common, considering that you have only catalogued a small portion of yours. I'm still working through mine as well. I've now been distracted by the groups and forums, which are fascinating. What are you currently reading?

Ha! Look quick while we have Chuang Tzu listed as a "most commonly shared book" for the Audiobooks group :) I bet that won't last...

re: Pullman, I tried to read The Golden Compass but actually didn't finish before I got sucked into reading for a class. So I'll have to get back to you on that when I get around to the rest of it...

Thank you! I'm a recent joiner of LibraryThing & I *love* seeing who has different books, and who has books that I love that are rare - always a pleasure to meet someone who shares that small bit of kindred spiritness.
