About my library My husband and I were both avid readers before we met and married our libraries in 1991. In 1994 about half of our library was damaged by water in the Northridge Earthquake when our aquarium split a seam and poured water onto the floor where our books had fallen off their shelves. Some books were beyond saving but others that are dear are still on our shelves adding interest with their water-wrinkled pages. We've moved since then and our library has grown. We both read widely and sometimes our interests cross. Don't try to figure out which are the Bookman's and which are mine. You'll only give yourself a headache :)

So nice to e-meet someone who has read The Beautiful Miscellaneous. (I live in the author's home state and I still have yet to run into someone who has read this book!)I loved his prose and the way he captured the husband/wife relationship.

Thanks for adding me as a friend!

Good Morning, or rather, Good Afternoon!

I found your blog this morning after reading a post from Exuberant Lady
in response to Justine Picardie's blog about Viragos!

SO....

I just wanted to say hello. I'm enjoying reading your blog. I also
see that we share 140 books and of course, Virago Modern Classics!

Hope your recent snowfall melts quickly. I used to live in Upstate
New York and know the disappointment of April snow.

Kind regards,
Cate

Stefanie, we will be in Madison (I think that is where the convention is; around Memorial Day weekend). I know exactly what you mean by worrying about how much of your reading time school will occupy. This fall I will have 4 classes and, while I will be doing alot of reading, my 'free-range' reading will be nil. Suffice it to say, I've been on a bit of a buying binge and I will see how many books I can cram into the few weeks between this one and the end of the month. This is the completion of my bachelors, yes. I will return to the working world in some capacity next summer. Keep me posted! Lois

I must admit that I don't really know where all my Emerson is. I have some books, uncatalogued, in my house in Florida, but I had a lot of Emerson before I bought the Library of America edition, and now I don't know where they are. Some books got lost in the moves, and some were given away to my children. I'm not sure I am going to try to collect more Emerson, unless I bump into some at book sales or thrift shops. Sorry to disappoint you.It's true that I adore him. (And I liked his influence on Margaret Fuller, and on Unitarianism, and I especially love "Self Reliance" which I reread a lot). I'm glad you find my library interesting. I must admit, though, that I am not an accurate cataloguer. I catalogued most of it from memory when I was in Florida, and I think about half is still uncatalogued. I'm doing about 400 books per month now, and I am doing it from the books and not from memory so it should be a little more accurate.

I checked your blog to make sure you both were all right. So relieved. Best, Lois

I have most of my books in, there may be some gardening and other odds and ends I've missed, and then I must decide what to do about all the children's books (my juvenile books, my children's and other's I have collected over the past ten years or so). Maybe tagged differently. There may be a bit more SF I haven't logged also. Michael (dukedom_enough) and I have both been doing a little purging as we go along, so I add 20 and take away 3, if you know what I mean. I have been helping him catalog his books which will probably total around 3,000 when he is done. We'll overlap about 400 titles, mostly SF & poetry, when he gets done. Hope you are well and enjoying what you are reading (with school and all, I'm not keeping up on blogs well). Best, Lois
