About me I read because one life isn't enough, and in the page of a book I can be anybody;
I read because the words that build the story become mine, to build my life;
I read not for happy endings but for new beginnings; I'm just beginning myself, and I wouldn't mind a map;
I read because I have friends who don't, and young though they are, they're beginning to run out of material;
I read because every journey begins at the library, and it's time for me to start packing;
I read because one of these days I'm going to get out of this town,
and I'm going to go everywhere and meet everybody, and I want to be ready.

by Richard Peck,
an American author

About my library I enjoy reading history, historically-based fiction, science, stories about adventurous women, the classics, art history, biographies about creative, clever, cunning, ingenious people and I throw in a little romance novel now and then.
I'm a fairly new member and just starting to put in my library.
