About meI am a bookseller, I work for Barnes & Noble in Indianapolis. I also recently started my working on my master degree in Library Science at Indiana University (in Indianapolis). I find the feel, smell and sound of the page of a book to be one of the most relaxing sounds ever. Give me a good cup of coffee and a good book and I'm content for hours.

About my libraryMy library has a mixture of fiction, non fiction, theology, poetry, art, and Shakespeare. There are few odds and ends that find themselves in there, too. Its not a huge library, but it is slowly growing.

Something of interest about my library: I am a huge Kinky Friedman fan; I have every book he has ever written (and most of them are signed). Kinky Friedman is the biggest name in my author cloud. Vote Kinky for Govenor of Texas!

I just happened to click on the kinkyfoguvnah picture, which took me to your photostream thingie... And then I saw Shelby Foote (without, I might add, reading a caption). You are awesome.

Hey! I know it's a long time getting back to you...sorry about that. Anyway, yes, I did see Stone Reader. In fact, I went about the whole Stones of Summer experience backward: first I saw the movie and then I read the book. Regardless of how I found it, I'm glad I did. That's one amazing book.

Also, I work for the library system here in S.C. Are you still going after you MLIS degree? Good luck to you if you are. I'm finishing up a degree that will (hopefully) allow me to fine work as a writer/editor.

Take it easy.

*smiles* THANK YOU! For introducing me to this site. I love it! I've been wanting to catalog my books for a while, and this is the perfect way to do it!

I love the Stone Reader. I have the DVD. I never could get far into the Stones of Summer. Maybe I need to let it sit for a few decades. :)

I also forgot to mention--do you have Stone Reader on DVD? Great fun to watch over and over. We have been to the website, and matching books mentioned with our shelves.

I found mine at a yard sale. It has library stamps, too, but aparently, it had never been checked out. Cost: $5.00.
Finding something like this: PRICELESS!!

Hi! Yes, we did see the movie, and I loved the book. My wife could not quite get into it. My Master's thesis was on Joyce, so I am used to dense reads. The ending blew me away. If you do not mind my asking, where did you track down a 1st edition, and how much was it?
