About meI would rather be offended than bored.

About my libraryI am only listing the books I wish to form part of my reading profile. I have decided not to include books that I do not respect. (Which is different from merely not liking them - I find you can respect a book you don't like for its popularity or its inspirational value...so some books I did not like but did respect are here. AND many books I thoroughly enjoyed - thousands of mysteries for example - I won't bother with because they are chaff, and sheer volume is not my goal.)

I have also realized that since I have developed the habit of giving away as many books as possible after I have read them (in order to avoid drowning), I have done some catch-up with books I no longer own, and my list will become more weighted towards the books I have still to read, as they keep piling up on my shelves while the already-read leave.

Finally, I have included books passed to me by friends, that circulate around along with my already-read contributions.

Thanks so much.
Thankyou for adding me to your interesting libraries. Just been browsing yours and your blog which all looks fascinating, especially the art and the books about books. We have some wonderful books in common.
Best wishes
Zoe.
Hi,

Saw you liked Trainspotting, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reading my new novel and posting your comments here (as well as on a few other book-related sites). Thought you might like my novel since it's also about a group of disturbed kids and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

I'm already making plans to spend my windfall. I DO love chocolate bars so.
Hey, thanks a bunch, glad you liked it. Hope all this good buzz helps whenever I get the damned thing of a second novel done. Which I should be doing right now, but I am master procrastinator.

And remember, every time you tell someone about Shelf Monkey, an angel (i.e. me) get its wings (i.e. maybe $2.00 before taxes).
