About My Library

It's extensive (tho some folks' here on LT make mine look paltry by comparison!). I prefer to own books that I enjoy, preferably in hardback so they'll last longer. I often share & recommend items from my library to friends & family. I also spread some of them around thru BookCrossing.com. The covers I show are almost always the editions I own -- I even hunt down & upload cover art from the web to get them right! And I'm also cataloging my wife's books here -- she reads as much as I do.

About Me

I'm old, married, and 7 times a grandfather. Books have been my friends, my retreats, my confidants, my teachers, and my comforters all my life. I wouldn't recognize myself without one (and neither would anyone I know!). And I'm proud to say that nearly all my grandchildren are readers, too! I also write; a couple of my own works are among the photos on my Home page...
