About me Old, fat, bald, nerd with just a touch of Asperger's Syndrome. Once I realized I was going to be a geek for life I decided I might as well wallow in it. Hence the tattoo.

Disambiguation notice: Although we share a name, and I have some D&D books, I am NOT the person who writes D&D modules. Although I admire his work.

About my library Oh, I don't know. Kind of a mix of literature and technical stuff.

I am dubious about some of my entries - geological maps and suchlike. However, I figure a regular library would accession these, and I like to keep track of which ones I have.

I think I'm getting the hang of properly combining books and authors; I probably caused trouble the first few times I tried, and if so I apologize.

Some of you are probably wondering how you got on my "interesting library" list. It's more or less like this:

1) If you put me on your interesting libraries list, or

2) If we have at least a 10% book overlap, and you have books from seemingly wildly divergent categories (Georgette Heyer novels and calculus; egyptology and sewage treatment; Wicca and vertebrate paleontology), or

3) All libraries are interesting

I can very much see myself holding the same sign. *grin*
That should be fun. Any Klingon Republicans in Mensa?
Likewise, and your collection is not to be snubbed at either.
Hi, Nice collection... OK, so I only looked up your geology books - a great list. Have you come across John McPhee's "Annals of the Formal World"? Thanks for marking my library interesting.
Cheers, d
I like...people who can use "multivariate" in a sentence, yet know that bentonite is sticky.

Yes, we are a special breed.
Thanks for the compliment, Bruce. I still have a lot of adding to do, but I hope to match the volume of catalogued items in your library someday. I look forward to perusing your "shelves" and will be adding your library to my list, as well. Nerdiness is next to Godliness...or Hal-iness...or Horus-iness...? Whatever.

I was at the OI in the late 90's. I worked at the University of Chicago Hospital---angio tech and went to school part time. Got a great discount as an employee.
I love the OI...I was a docent there for years. Have you seen the new Egypt hall-amazing.
Nice to hear from you...

Tahnks for adding my library-I'll peruse yours at leisure. You seem yo be interested in Egyptology also..I studied at the Oriental Institute in Chicago--I love and hope to visit egypt some day...you have a very interesting library from what I have seen so far...

I sift pretty much the same way...mostly depends on how much time I have at the moment.

Hi Bruce- I'm glad you found my library interesting. I haven't used that feature yet, but had noticed your name as sharing several of my less common books. After looking at your author cloud, I think we'd have even more overlap if I included books I've read from the public libraries. I'm still working my way through the house and boxed books- but will get there gradually. I'm intrigues that in Colorado, you have tgeh GSA Field trip guide from the Philadelphia meeting - but then I've got field trip guides from lots of other places too- just not yet in LT.

Take Care

Likewise. I look forward to sifting through your books.

I'm actually working my way through the Lindsey Davis novels right now. I've read most of them; I think I have four left in the series. I have a collection of Saylor's short stories, which I really enjoyed, but I haven't been able to read any of his other books yet because reading for school takes up all of my time these days. It's a bummer.
Yeah, after I read I, Claudius, I exhausted the local libraries trying to find everything they had to offer on him. I guess that makes me a really big nerd.
augustus, trajan, hadrian, julian the apostate. i'm also very interested in the life of julius caesar.
maybe "favorite roman emperors" is misleading.
perhaps it should read "a list of roman emperors i'm most interested in."
No problem on the shortness of the note - I'm sharing that experience as well.

Your about me says: "Old, fat, bald ..." Are you perchance a runner as well as a nerd? The "Old, fat, bald" phrase is a favorite (usually, but not always, ironic) description used by runners.
Yep! I enjoy reading and learning different things (not as many as I should, perhaps), even though my special interest are women writers.
I am always amazed at the vastity of interests and breadth of knowledge - beside the amount of books - I find in many of our fellow LThingers. Quite an interesting community and nice place to be, don't you think?

Hello Bruce!
Thanks for adding my library to the ones you find interesting. I will wander through your shelves as soon as I have a moment. In the meantime, happy reading!

Hi Bruce:

Thanks for adding me to your interesting libraries list! I've returned the compliment--you have a nice eclectic collection.

Cheers!
