Tietoja minusta Some of my earliest memories are of my Mom reading to me from "The How and Why Library" (I still have those books, although volume one is pretty torn up), and my Dad reading the Oz books to me. A favorite treat was being taken to the big Salvation Army store in downtown Los Angeles where we kids were turned loose in the Book section, to pick out whatever we wanted. I still have quite a few of those books, too - the ones I didn't wear out. I've never outgrown my love of kid's books, especially the beautifully illustrated ones. Now I like to read them to my grandchildren.

My husband and I have been married for 47 years, and we have lived in Iowa for the last 35 or so. He is not quite such a reader as I am but he is a strong supporter of my habit. He has quite a collection of computer books which he has picked up second hand when we are out looking in used book stores. They will eventually get catalogued too.

Tietoja kirjastostani Finding Library Thing on the web in September of 2007 was really exciting! Since then, most of my spare time goes into cataloging books. Most of the books in the catalog are books we own. The exceptions are books I read in 2007 and 2008 which were borrowed and returned; and some that are at my parents' house. Each book is tagged with a location that is followed by a reverse quote mark (`). The
mark is used to define the end of the information for each book so that I can easily add books to my own listing in our word processor. I LOVE the idea of the tags! The books I read/am reading in 2007/2008 are the ones tagged with that year.

Right now I'm in the process of revising my ratings so they mean more to me; in other words, how much pleasure I received from that particular book. For fiction, my top favorites are marked with five stars. Above average books are marked with four stars. Three stars are given to the books that were enjoyable, but forgetable. Two stars are given to books that are disappointing, and one-star books are those I didn't finish. The ones with no stars at all I haven't read yet. Non-fiction is even more subjective - The more I like having the book around, or the more I use it, the higher the rating.

Hey Anne,

Thanks for the nice thoughts. Isn't LibraryThing a nice little community? I took a look through your reviews and the books we have in common, and you're right, there are some common threads there, although I have no Iowa kin. And it's nice to hear from one of the few people who know and appreciate "Barnaby"; I usually get blank stares when I mention the strip, even to my fellow comic strip fans... not that the topic comes up all that often.

It'd be great if you could check out Gail's website and book; she was so excited when she saw her book mentioned in my profile, but so far nary a nibble. Oh, and I'm sure you know about Ottumwa's most famous (fictional) resident...

Oh, and congratulations on your marital longevity. I married late, and am celebrating 15 years with Nancy this September. I love marriage, but I'm not sure I would have appreciated it if I'd married younger.

Mike
Thanks for writing. I so loved the trilogy, I reread them again a few years back, and loved it all over again. I remember feeling as if I were living in the woods with that family. I also lived with the main character (whose name I don't recall) as she witnessed the changing times from that cabin in the woods to a town where she was so old she had outlived all the people she had ever known and loved. I really enjoy reading books that honor those who came before us. Whether it's fiction or nonfiction, these books always remind me that life in a continum of real people just like us. I think that while we're wrapped up in our own lives, we sometimes tend to forget that. Right now I'm listening to "Mayflower" while driving in my car. It's a weird kind of wakeup call to be cursing traffic congestion while listening to the narrator talking about the hardships that the pilgrims had to endure.
