About meI'm a retired high school teacher and teacher-librarian. My reading splits about half-and-half between fiction and non-fiction. Non-fiction choices are whatever strikes my fancy, and that tends to be philosophy, theology, sexuality and gender, and -- broadly speaking -- science. Almost all of my fiction is by gay and lesbian authors or deals with queer themes. A lot of it I read to suss out good titles for a small gay book group that I belong to.
About my libraryThe "My Shelf List" collection shows what's actually on my shelves just now, while "My Library" includes in addition the titles I've borrowed from libraries since 2002. Year tags show my reading log, and they're complete starting with 2002, but fragmentary prior to that. So if you're interested in my reading habits, make sure you're displaying "My Library" before clicking on a year tag.

Thanks for adding me as one of your interesting libraries. I'm flattered.
I read all kinds of stuff as you can see. If you sort my library by date read (look at tab E, I think) you can see what I've read lately. Working with most of the college libraries in PA gives me a chance to borrow just about anything from any of them so I too borrow much of what I read. However I probably buy one book for every one I borrow so my library is steadily growing.
How large is your book group and how long have you been at it? I've tried (half-heartedly) to get a men's book group going in Pittsburgh but haven't had much success.
Keep in touch.
Dan
