About My Library

Myself and my books are happily cohabiting with scarlett_elise, my wife and fellow book lover. (However, she greatly needs to update her LibraryThing catalog!)

We love and collect books, and we're stewards of a free community library.

It took a few years, but I've learned to accept and like e-books largely for the convenience the provide. It's reassuring to know I always have access to books no matter where I am. Still, I prefer real books. I guess we'll call them analog books now.

I have read many of the books in my library; however, my 'to be read' pile does constantly grow. I'm usually reading several books at once, too.
