Tietoja minusta I am a 44 years old male, married with children ages 8, 6 and 4. I grew up in Southern California, went to college at the University of Chicago and graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley. After 14 years as Executive Director of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra I have recently relocated to Birmingham, AL, where I am the new Executive Director of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra.

I spent several years as a site administrator at the Internet Book List and I am am AWOL forum moderator (not to mention being a part owner) of the Internet Book Database of Fiction. I've moderated forums for Heather Gladney, John Marco, Jack McDevitt, Elizabeth Bear, and David B. Coe (our Steve Miller/Sharon Lee and Debra Doyle/James Macdonald forums never attracted any participation). I came over to Librarything looking for a site with more members and more potential, and I'm looking forward to getting involved.

My favorite authors at the moment are Theodore Sturgeon, Cordwainer Smith, James Tiptree, Jr., and Steven Erikson.

Tietoja kirjastostani Over the years I've read lots of just about everything (except horror and romance), encouraged at a young age by my public-school-English-teacher-turned-lib... mother. In my early teens I read mystery voraciously (especially Agatha Christie, Erle Stanley Gardner--I loved his A.A. Fair books--and Dick Francis) and westerns (just about everything by Louis L'Amour). Then I fell in love with the Lord of the Rings and got hooked on a bit of science fiction (the Foundation Trilogy, Dune, and a bit of Heinlein). Then came my years as an English major at the University of Chicago, where I set aside genre fiction for Literature and Drama and never really went back until my mother gave me the first three books of the Wheel of Time when I turned 32 (or so). Since then its been back to fantasy and especially science fiction with a vengeance.

Some taggage explanation: "elizabeth" are books that belong to my wife, "teens" are books that I read in my teens (location unknown), "mom" are books that I read in my teens which are presumably still on a shelf or in a box somewhere at my mom's house, and "returned" are books that have been returned to the library.

Curt, I really hope the ASO can grow in popularity. I think there is a culture in Birmingham that will definitely embrace it, given the right exposure and promotion. From what I know, the ASO has struggled to draw in a younger audience. You would know more than I, but is that one of the challenges you are facing?

I would love to get together anytime for coffee and book discussions. There is a Starbucks down on my end of campus, as well as a local coffee shop I visit often called "Lucys." Anytime that is good for you. Just let me know.

Welcome from Birmingham, AL! I saw your profile because you have George R.R. Martin listed as one of your favorite authors. I work at UAB in the IT Department. I just moved over to IT from Creative & Marketing, where I was working on a number of web sites for the university, including the Alys Stephens Center Web site. I know the Alys Stephens Center works pretty closely with the ASO. Nice to meet you. Maybe we'll meet around campus at some point. What made you want to move to Birmingham to be Executive Director of the ASO?

Hi there Carl.

Nice to see you're still around - I admit I feared the worst when I saw your account on IBList had been downgraded to Basic :-/

Another library database to fill in, though it's persuading me to get the various piles my books are in sorted out, and verifying the correctness of the data. Busy, busy!
Howdy, and right back at you:)

Thanks for finding my library to be of interest. We seem to have many similar tastes (Louis L'Amour, Steven Erikson and Lee/Miller/Doyle/MacDonald; too bad nobody was interested in the latter four authors at your moderated forum), though I have to say I've never been able to make it through Robert Jordan's first book. I've only recently discovered A.A. Fair books and just bought several at a used book store a week or so ago (now, to actually read them...:)

Take it easy,

bookstothesky
Great review of the Excession. You are completely on point. And nicely put, too! Hey, but didn't you at least like the Outside Context Problem? Neat concept, I can certainly think of a few.
Hey great-did likewise.
We share an enthusiasm for Stanley G Weinbaum!
I really agree with you on 100 Years of Solitude.
