About my library "Reread": books that I've read more than once

"unfinished": some books take me a long time to read but I do expect to finish them.

"Unread": some are in the pile beside my bed, and others are stashed away for my next holiday because I know I will read them. I've noticed a lot of the unread are classics that I've picked up from bargain bookshops with the idea that I must read these books, but don't get around to it.

"Unreadable": those which are just so poorly written that I have no interest in persevering.

"Wow": Books which made me stop and think, maybe even take notes, or find their way into my journal because of the thoughts that have bubbled up.

Your library is interesting to me because you use the tag "Hebrides". I'm always looking for Hebridean books... and for a chance to get back to the islands.

Hi,
you have Mathew Parish as author of Scorn with extra bile, should be Mathew Parris.

Andrew,

I used to travel the M8 frequently (particularly on CityLink) to visit Glasgow. I had the opportunity to catch a few shows over there. Of course, my wife enjoyed the shopping...

Take care.

I see we both have Gordon Willis` Kilroy is Here - in fact it`s the only book we share so far. Are you a fan ?

Hiya, I came to your profile because you showed up on my list as the only other person with 'The World's Most Fantastic Freaks'. Your categories of unfinished, unread, unreadable etc. are spot on - I've also noticed that my unread books tend to be things like 'Jude The Obscure', 'Daniel Deronda', and things like that from charity shops. I finally got round to reading 'Moll Flanders' a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it so, if you have that one lying around, I recommend it!

Wow! To find that anyone has a copy of Kephart's Camp Cookery amazing. It's almost 100 years old. I've had it and dreamed over it and even used it (Not much) for over 60 years.
My old aunt Margaret got it for me, along with other Kephart books, when I was in the Boy Scouts before WWII.

I couldn't help noticing your large collection of bushcraft / wilderness / survival type books, and your location in South Wales. If you're not a member already, might I suggest having a look at www.bushcraftuk.com/community/ . They're a great bushcraft resource and there's quite a few members in the South Wales area.
