About me I'm in my 50's, have raised 2 wonderful kids, have a new sweet husband, and 2 grandkids. After reading for years about the arctic and antractic and long sea voyages (yes, all the O'Brian novels) I almost inadvertantly wound up with a job as a videographer traveling to those places regularly. While this has fullfilled a lifelong dream I'm not sure how long I can keep up the travel and long hours and am thinking about other possibilities.

About my library These are books I've either recently read and liked or favorites I remember. I don't keep a library except for 3 or 4, instead I enjoy passing books on to friends and family.

Thanks for adding me to your interesting libraries. I see we have a big overlap in books about the arctic and antarctic. Alaska too. I picked up a copy of Scott's journals about 10 years ago and have been hooked on polar literature ever since. I don't really understasnd why, I'm sure I would find it too cold to enjoy even a brief visit. Armchair travel is more my speed. What really interests me is how much was accomplished by "ordinary" men, in an age without all the technology and knowledge we have today. I've read many current accounts of trips to the poles, and I always wonder how successful the men and women of today would have been 100 years ago.

Hi Linda,

The videos I make go to the people who take tours on the ships I work on. You can see various clips made from footage taken on those voyages at expeditions.com.

Hi Nancy, and welcome to LibraryThing. I am so glad to have found this site and know that there are other people out there who like to read as much as I do. I envy you being able to travel to those places I have only read about. ~Donna~
