About meA dull lapsed atheist lapsed broadcaster lapsed fire-fighter lapsed netball umpire but sports-keen lit-freakin' Dylan-freakin' priesty-person with lots of children.

About my libraryWhat I snobbishly describe as "serious" theology, and a kind of diverse gallop through literature - mainly "serious", too. Whatever that means. Or doesn't. Sniffs of other disciplines, but not a hint of anything scientific - I gave up anything involving numbers when I was about ten. And then there's kids' books. I want my kids to love books as I do. I have eight kids. That's a truck load o' books. Ah yes, and then there's Wodehouse. I can't stand him but kinda married him. The things we do for love.

Hey zappa,

Fancy bumping into you here ;) I found you when I was adding the book I was given at my confirmation - I see it's one which, you with your impeccable taste already have.

Take care,

Zappa, I saw that you're the only other person who has this book, so I thought I'd let you know that I uploaded a cover for A Discourse Analysis of Philippians by Reed.

Hi there! Nice to see that our libraries have some overlap!

Hi Z!

Re-reading your profile.....8 kids...WOW!
What are their names and ages? Your lovely wife must be an angel!

I wish half of the books for kids today had been around when I was one.
I ended up reading adult novels WAY too early - beneath the covers, of course.
Guess that explains a bit more about me!

Nice to make your acquaintance!

I am sure many people ignore requests such as this. So, again, thank you!

Thanks zappa, I've got books like that, too, stuff in boxes and so on that I haven't looked at; appreciate the reply about Grollenberg nonetheless - ER

Hello Mike, I noticed that you have a book by Martin Luther King, Jr.. The Trumpet of Conscience. What do you think the value of a 1st edition copy in mint condition is? Just Curious!

Hi Mike,

How do have time to be a lit-freak. Have you read any Thomas Moore. Interesting. Jungian Catholic mystic. I like him. Puts God back into mystery where he/she belongs.

Alana.
