About my libraryOne Christmas recently I bought books I already had and both my daughters bought me the same book. Something had to change. Now I have catalogued all my books and my kids' books as well. I am renewing acquaintance with lots of old friends as I enter the books and marking some for a reread.

Now I have my list on my phone ready to be consulted at an airport, when I am most at risk to buy a duplicate book.

My books reflect where I have been working for the last 15 years: Eastern Europe. I have travel writing and history, language handbooks, often not used much. I also have novels for reading during the travels and travel guides for where I might have gone as well as where I have been.

I love the CueCat scanner.

Our trip to Sochi was inspired by my reading of Stalin: the Court of the Red Tsar by Simon Sebag Montefiore. Sochi was the site of Stalin's vacation dacha and we were eager to visit it (it is open to the public now)

My daughter and I had been hoping to go on a cruise in Sept. that would have taken us to Sochi. We have abandoned the idea because of the Georgia situation. I am very glad you are safe and that you will be able to go back soon.

I saw your reply to me on the Travel and Exploration group concerning reading Snow and visiting Kars. I noticed that you live in Tbilisi. My thoughts and concerns are with you. Hope you are safe.

Thank you for your comment on the Kis page. I'm not sure which books you meant, Kis's library (as listed) didn't include that many (only a very small minority, in fact) of his own (authored) books. It did include a number of books he'd translated, though.

Incidentally, I hope the Kis foundation will accept to improve this catalogue, since they are the only ones with access to the covers and the rest of the bibliographic data.

Regards, Lola

Oh, not I! I don't know any Lithuanian! If you look at the homepage for the translation and then click on Lithuanian, you'll see that it's basically been done by one user, boekerij.
