- About My Library
- My LibraryThing catalog contains all of the books that I presently own. I have one room with book shelves all around and my recliner in the middle. History books are almost 25% of my library. I subscribe to Library of America and have about 200 of their books including the American Poets Project series. This year I am concentrating on reading books I have owned for three years or more. I enjoy audio books and have started reading e-books. I still have a few books from when I was as young as ten years old.
- About Me
- I am an attorney and a life long reader. I am a sole practitioner with a general practice. My primary reading interest has always been history. I have read in many areas of history studying different topics. Some years ago I developed chronic health problems that have made a big change in my life. I am now able to work after developing lifestyle adaptations and a judicious medication profile. Reading is a perfect avocation for someone in my situation. I enjoy the groups on LT and have met some good people here who have helped widen my reading horizons. I am married and my wife is an artist who works in miniatures. She has won many prizes for her work and has pieces in museums for miniatures. She is opening up a website soon. We have two sons who are on their own and doing well.
