About meI grew up in a house full of books, then worked at a used bookstore during college, which got me hooked on used books forevermore. I love used bookstores, library book sales (my biggest problem), and thrift stores.

Still have lots of books to add!

It is intriguing how close your library mirrors my own. It occured to me that you would enjoy David Halberstams last book (he died in a car wreck jast as it was published), 'The Coldest Winter'. It covers the Korean War in great detail and is particularly interesting if read before or after Max hastings, 'The Korean War'. If you like a book that includes detailed biographies of the main participants, then you will enjoy this.

Excuse this intrusion, but I thought you might like to be made aware of the new E.F.Benson group. Please join - the more the merrier!
