About meI'm a book-geek, mom, scientist, triathlete, who loves to cook. That about says it all-- what else would I have time for?

About my libraryMaybe 800 books (trying to get everything entered in Library Thing), classics, newer stuff that isn't trash (there's quite a bit of trash out there), mostly fiction but also bios, philosophy, psychology, history. I have an eclectic mix from many genres and eras, but really just want beautiful writing and to read something that is different and meaningful-- dark, weird, disturbing--all that is good too. I'm also trying to put together a good library for my kids (Disney is banned). Some favorite authors: Faulkner, Atwood, Steinbeck, Nabokov, Woolf... the list goes on.... I'm on bookmooch (technodiabla) so mooch some books from me please!

Sorry about the delay getting back to you. I've been trapped at home with a miserable cold and I have no internet there -- I have lots to catch up on :-) Thanks very much for mooching this book for me. I really appreciate it!
No problems Debbie - just wanted to help if I could; or at least help you feel a little less aggrieved. :)
We are in the process of up-dating and overhauling the official 'angel' list - there is even a thread that Michelle started; you can volunteer when it is asked as LT members will be added to it.

I know what you mean - it is very rewarding to get a book to someone who really wants it; especially in another country!

Hi Debbie,
Noticed your post about not being able to mooch books...I can get you one from Australia if you want it as I 'angel' from there. This one: http://bookmooch.com/detail/0140144064
I know what it is like to have all your 'available' books NOT available!!!
No obligation - just thought I would offer; it may not be high up on the "get it NOW list". LOL!
~Lyn

P.S. If you want to know about angel mooching I have a link to the list on my BM profile page - basically we get you the book; when it arrives post it and reserve it for you and send you the link, you mooch; we post! QED!!! Hopefully it is that simple!
Noticed you liked As I Lay Dying, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also southern and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter)in case you'd like to read more about the novel before you commit:

Thanks,

Just read your review of Paul Auster's NY Trilogy. Thanks for that. I'm also taking it to NYC to read on my first visit there in a few weeks time! Been meaning to read Auster for years. Looking forward to it.
