I've been an avid reader as far back as I can remember. The two most memorable reading related memories from my youth were (1) a reading pin in 4th grade for being the best reader in my class, and (2) being in a chair in the backyard during summer vacation, so engrossed in my book that a snail had crawled up my arm before I realized it (then I freaked). I fell hard for science fiction (and never recovered) at age 11, after checking "The Martian Chronicles" out of the library and reading it.

At various times, when not reading, I've been a design engineer, fiction writer, UCLA student, student pilot, rockclimber, seamstress, hiker, cross-country skier, gymrat, moutaineer, world traveler, and probably several other things I've forgotten. Oh, and since finding LibraryThing, I guess I better add book cataloguer to the list.

Tietoja kirjastostani I have lots of books, gathered over a lifetime, covering a broad range of subjects. It's a reading and reference library, though there might, by chance, be a collectable or two. I'm starting with entering my rather large Science Fiction collection. These books have the most entertaining covers. To that end, I've been careful to use the correct cover, scanning and uploading in those cases where one wasn't available. I have to admit to loving the science fiction collection in cover view. Sorting by date makes a nice cover timeline as well!

I have several other good sized collections, including space exploration, literature, philosophy, general science, archaeology, and mythology. I really have a bit of everything though. I'm entering these in a bit at a time to break the process up. I hope to get much of my library added into the GwenH library database over time.

While I haven't read everything in my library, I have read or skimmed much of it, and intend to read more of it as time and whim directs. Once I settle in here, I hope to add more comments and reviews. I've found the reviews and opinions, posted by others, interesting to read,

I've also enjoyed snooping around other people's libraries and have already discovered a few new books of interest! These were often made when exploring libraries with which I share a book in common. It's also surprising to see which books show up in many libraries and which are uncommon.

Hi Gwen!

I saw you wanted a copy of "The Inverted World", by Christopher Priest. I have a copy and would love to send you one! Please forward me your address!
Hi, Gwen. Went back and re-read your post. Sorry I misinterpreted. And I know what you mean about the all caps titles YELLING AT US. I always fix those, and try to remember to cap "all the important words" in a title. Sometimes I do things on automatic pilot, if you know what I mean. Anyway, you are a welcome addition to our merry little band.
Saw your comments on the site improvement discussion board. I do not know if the comment you mentioned re: median/mean came from this discussion or not, but I found it helpful. I do know after reading this discussion I went back and performed some entry and tag cleanup.
