About me I am retired and so get to play all day, reading and frolicking on the computer.
About my library All the listings in my library are books I own. They are all in my home except for a few I sent to a friend in Japan and a few I gave away on PaperBackSwap. No periodicals, no CD's, nothing that is not a book made of paper. If I ever get an electronic reading device I might list those books but right now it is books all the way down.

I see we share 13 titles - that is a relatively high correlation, considering I only put up fifty some favorite titles.
By all means, if you care to share any recommendations and curiosities.

I am new to Library Thing and still screw up some of these details. I just posted a note to you at the bottom of a lengthy thread from the Art as Life group. At any rate, I just wanted to comment on your interest in Edward Hopper and Vincent Van Gogh--two of my favorite artistic spirits. I just finished the Edward Hopper: An Intimate Biography by Gail Levin last week. Fabulous work. I had been blocked as an artist since 2008 began, and now, thanks to his legacy, I am painting again. Van Gogh also thrills me--I just finished assembling a slide lecture of his work to deliver to a high school audience in the morning. I took a break and got onto Library Thing and read your post. Anyway, nice to read your remarks.

Thanks very much for the group invitation and for adding me to your interesting libraries. I'm not 60, but I don't see that as a problem :)

No way! I just noticed those points while looking at shared books, which I did because I entered something fairly obscure and saw you had it. I often write such little messages if I happen to notice something strange and apparently unintentional, but I don't set out to check up on people.
Anyway, having looked again, I now see that HP and the Goblet of Fire and Northanger Abbey have dodgy author entries too! And you have The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthazar B twice, once with author and once without. I suspect that quite a few of your authorless books have authors really.

Your entry for Life,the Universe and Everything has author "Douglas, Adams" rather than "Adams, Douglas" which you have have for the rest of his books. I suppose that's not what you wanted: maybe an import from an unreliable source? You might want to check the author for The Ascent of Man, The Poems of John Milton, The Tents of Wickedness and The Canterbury tales too.

Your Scifi and Fantasy selection is impressive. Any recommendations?
