About me I am a hospital chaplain in the Philadelphia, PA area. I love to read; I play jazz, blues and folk guitar; I love spending time with my family. I also enjoy spending time outdoors.
I am willing to loan books from my personal library to fellow book-lovers who will treat them with care and return them to me in original condition within a month.
About my library I am an incurable bibliophile, and seek to read an eclectic variety of books and writings. Some of my favorite subject areas include: theology, psychology, philosophy, history, memoirs and classic novels. I have read at least parts of all the books on my list here, although I am primarily an armchair scholar on most occasions and read mainly for my own enjoyment and edification.
Please share your comments and books- I'd love to hear about great books you have read or are reading!

Hey I may take you up on that offer to lend books to other readers.

I see that we share some reading interests. There is nothing I enjoy more than a good autobiography/memoir or biography. I just finished a couple that I thought you might like. The first is "The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness" by Elyn R. Saks. Saks is an endowed professor of law at the University of Southern California. She tells the story of her life as a person with schizophrenia. The second, also a memoir, is "The Invisible Wall: a Love Story that Broke Barriers" by Harry Bernstein. Bernstein writes about his life in a small English town just before WWI, where he grew up on a street with Christians on one side and Jews on the other. He writes about how the tragedies and joys of their shared human experience helped them find their way through the invisible wall that separated them.
I would love to hear any recommendations you have -- memoirs, American history, spirituality.
Best Wishes,
InCahoots
