Tietoja minusta78, married. Picture shows (clockwise) me with husband at his 80th birthday in 2003, him with newest grandchild in 2005, 5 of his 7 children 15-20 years ago, me with eldest son at his wedding 1998, and husband with his twin in 2003. (I couldn't figure out how to show just one picture). I am a retired systems analyst and mainframe programmer. (Cobol, IMS, DB2, CICS). Have moved permanently to St. Petersburg, Florida from Poughkeepsie, Ny. Amateur oratorio singer and painter. Taught fine art before computer systems. Product of Hutchins college at the U of Chicago in the 40's. In love with literature, classical music, jazz and expressionist and abstract art. Liberal humanist, feminist. Mother, stepmother and grandmother. My wish list of books I haven't acquired or borrowed yet is on 'almigwinwishlist' in LT.

Tietoja kirjastostaniMostly english 19th and 20th century fiction, literary criticsm and literary biography. Poetry in french, german, spanish, italian, portugese, hebrew, yiddish and russian. I read them all except russian, yiddish and portugese. I can speak and understand yiddish but my reading is halting. My hebrew is very primitive,(reading only from biblical studies), my russian is minimal and my portugese is nonexistant. It would be worth mastering for Pessoa. I love the modern Polish poets but do not read Polish, so depend on translation. I try to get the complete works of the poets and novelists that are important, or that I love, or both. I have a lot of dual language poetry books and anthologies of poetry and short stories. I have a few hundred art books, some history and philosophy. some science especially physics, lots of cookbooks-french, italian, chinese, mediteranean.
Complete Sets
I have attempted to get all of the works of these authors: Anthony Trollope, Wm Shakespeare, Tobias Smollett, DeFoe, Stendahl, Fielding, Dickens, Fanny Burney, Sterne, the Brontes, Austen, Maria Edgeworth, George Eliot, Wm. Makepeace Thackeray, Honore de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, marcel Proust, Henry James, Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Willliam Gass, Joseph Roth, Ivan Turgenev, Anton Checkov, Nikolai Gogol, Vladimir Nabokov, Ivan Goncharov, Vasily Grossman, Willa Cather, Edith Wharton, Anita Brookner, Louis Begley, Emerson, Thoreau, Plato, Hume, Locke, Mill, Homer, and recordings of all the works of Bach and Mozart (In complete boxed sets from Daedelus books recorded in Europe on cd). Also have All of Zola in translation and the New Yorker on 8 cd roms.

The list of my reading in 2008 continued from the 50 book challenge is on the 250 book challenge (a new group).
