About meI live, read and garden in East Tennessee after half a lifetime in Phoenix Arizona. Reading is a lifetime passion, sometimes an escape, almost always a pleasure. My tastes are pretty inclusive although I find myself drifting away from the focus on science fiction that once made up most of my reading.

About my libraryMy main objective in recording books on Library Thing is to keep track of what I've read. There's a half a lifetime of reading that simply hasn't been recorded but no matter. At least this way, I won't keep buying the same book over and over again. As for the hundreds of unread books on my shelves, they will have to wait until I get around to them.

Your comment about people in waiting rooms made me laugh out loud. How often I have been in that situation, pulled out my handy paperback, and received "the look" like I just grew a third eye. I finally stopped bringing my 500+ page hardbacks to work because of all the comments, like "Are you taking a class?" or "Wow, that's a big book, are you really going to read that?", to which I've often thought of replying "No, I just carry this around to build upper body strength."

I also like the used book finds. Always makes me wonder about the people who read it before me. One of my favorite "finds" was a picture of two cats on a blue carpet.

Thanks for the nice comment and the chuckle!
