About meI'm a "scary" librarian (or so my boss tells me). I present a "constant stream of negativity." Meanwhile, up near my brain, "there's no one in charge." A school psychologist pronounced me, as a child, "a wart on the ass of humanity." I suppose everyone is entitled to an opinion, and everyone has an attitude, and mine keeps improving.

About my libraryI collect drug books, and I own all the ones listed here that are not on the Wishlist. I'm using LT to keep track of the sci-fi I READ, so I don't own all of them (but the PKD, Gibson, Ballard, Richard Morgan, yes!).
