About My Library

My library consists of ~1000 actual books. NOT ANY MORE! I've downsized to less than 100 physical books ... I still own well over 500 digital books.

About Me

I'm a high school science teacher.

I have two children (18 and 16) who both love to read, but are quite independent about it (IOW they won't read something just because I tell them it's good or that they should).

I have many (too many) other interests besides reading; hiking & camping, boardgames, gardening, salt-water aquariums, but reading is and always will be my first choice.

Location

Bull Shoals Lake, mid-Missouri close to the Arkansas border
