About meInterests: mysticism, philosophy, physics, cosmology, language, mathematics, aviation literature, especially if it has a metaphysical emphasis.

About my libraryMy library speaks for me...and is a far better public speaker than I am! I started entering just the books that seemed to be appropriately representative of a much larger collection (and excluding most "escape" reading). It gets addictive however, and I've found myself cataloguing everything but ephemera. Then, I realized my vinyl music collection,too, is fair game.

The most useful aspect of LT for me is the tagging feature which allows me to separate out the books at one residence from the other; that way I know, after a quick search, which book is where and can grind my teeth when I discover the book I'm looking for is a five hour drive away: Murphy's Law of Books!

Hi Tom,
Thank you for the heads up about Duncton Wood. I will check it out immediately. Also thank you for the kind word about my MySpace page and thanks for popping in for a visit. I'll talk to you again soon. I just want to dash of a quick note to let you know I received your messages.

All the best,
~Terrie

Hi there! Yes, I've seen that label (AND tasted the wine). That's what my medallion reminded me of as well.

Good to see you here! My list is still very much a work in progress. I have a far more exhaustive list on goodreads.com, but I'll get there. :-)

Are you related to Robert Kelley? I saw we are the only ones who share his title Transformations? Then again, you live in SB and I went to undergrad there... Cheers, Martin.

Have you missed Nevil Shute's "No Highway"? Esta1923

Hi! I notice that you and I (and one other person) share a copy of People Named Smith. I was a Smith for the first 37 years of my life. My mother owned the book very early in my childhood, but I loaned it to my best friend, Susie Smith, never got it back. My mother brought it up at every family gathering. In 1999, I hit the internet and found a copy, I think in Georgia. She was pleased. She is gone now and the book is mine. May I ask why you have a copy? Just curious. Rebecca (Smith) Taylor
