We have long since filled all our bookshelves, added more, and still have stacks of books that haven't found shelf space. About my libraryI've begin gradually adding my books to Librarything but its slow going, shelf by shelf. What's here so far is a mishmash selected for the convenience of their locations more than any other reason. It may all get here one day.

I loved the talks on Sunday more than those on Saturday. Whom did you get to see? I was able to see Mark Helprin, Joyce Carol Oates, Manil Suri, and Khaled Hosseini. Did your friend Alice like the festival as well? I think it's always terrific, both for the book talks and the meet-ups. I meet up with LTers as well as BookCrossers the weekend of the National Book festival.
Hope to see you at our next meet-up.

Thanks for the invite. I'd love to join, but before I do I just wanted you to know that I'm not actually a fencer, but a fencing dad. My son is a foilist who has won a number of local tournaments (although doesn't rank nationally), and I have written three pieces for American Fencing. I've also written a YA fencing thriller that will be coming out in October, because I thought the sport was so cool and wanted a wider audience to learn more about it.
Anyway, if you'll still have me even though I don't fence, I'd love to join.
Let me know.
All the best,
Doug
