About my libraryI collect modern first editions, concentrating on [[Arturo Perez Reverte]], [[John Dunning]] and [[Jack Kerouac]].

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,
and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined,
he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary;

new, universal, and more liberal laws
will begin to establish themselves around and within him;
or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor
in a more liberal sense,
and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.
In proportion as he simplifies his life,
the laws of the universe will appear less complex,
and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty,
nor weakness weakness.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

In addition to "Two O'Clock Eastern Wartime", I've read all 5 of the 'Cliff Janeway' mysteries. I am looking forward to #6 & #7 which are "works in progress" according to John Duuning's website:

(The delay, apparently, is because he's been dealing with some health issues that have now been resolved)
