About meI'm a librarian though not working in straight library work - have worked in research libraries, information management and web-based services for some time now. Currently I work for a publicly funded educational technology organisation in Adelaide. I became interested in Librarything through work (investigating social tagging and web 2.0) but now I am totally hooked on a personal basis! I read as much as I can which is mainly at night in bed - manage 2 books a week or so, much less than I'd like. I'm married with 2 boys, 23 and 19 - the older one has just moved out of home so life is entering a new phase.

About my libraryI'm experimenting with adding a "library" of books I have read, working backwards from now. I have always obsessively kept a notebook listing books as I read them so have a ready source of data to add! I own many of them but not all, some are friends' and family members' books and some (fewer and fewer these days) are library books. I also have a giant pile of books next to the bed, threatening to tumble and crush me, that I have not yet read. I may add them as the next set. I read almost exclusively fiction, mixture of crime, modern novels, a very little fantasy (I like comic like Jasper Fforde), and generally prefer books (of whatever genre) that I find well-written and where I care about the characters. My most recently loved book (this is June 4, 2007) was The Mission song - very moving and, as usual with Le Carre, basically a love story.

I'll have to check out your list, since I'm always looking for new reads. I may get ideas for Australian authors, although I can only afford to read ones published in the States. I couldn't wait on the latest Reginald Hill, however, so I did order it from England. Yep, I'm an addict!
You really have nothing to apologise for. I think I'll put a note in my profile entry that thanks are fine, but apologies inappropriate.
Hi, you have called one of your books Let's choose executioners by Sara Woods. I guess that's one of the ones you have read but no longer own and you've misremembered the title, which should be Let's choose executors. I've combined the two titles, but you would probably prefer to have it right. But if you'd rather have things the way they were, let me know and I'll uncombine them.
I'm so glad you liked BEAUTIFUL LIES and hope you enjoy the rest of the journey in SLIVER OF TRUTH! You are right, this is a very cool service.
It's nice to meet you. I look forward to exploring your books. And thanks for having mine in your library.
55 now!
Off to look at them
as you can see I love his books too. I thought the Fourth Bear was one of his best. I was surprised to see that in the past 3 years (that's where I'm up to now, working backwards adding books I've read), my most read authors have been men - not what I'd have expected. It will be interesting how our shared ones go up over time!
We're onto 41 shared now and as you say although most are crime (which I do default to when pressed) lots of them are other genres ones which I have enjoyed.
Jasper Fforde is a favourite of mine!
