Tietoja minusta A well-organized packrat and trickster. Dedicated, in theory at least, to the principle of non-attachment. In the dubious parlance of astrology, a Gemini (which makes perfect sense). Agnostic Einsteinian mystic.

My wife is smart and beautiful and my sons (4 and 7) are sweet and brilliant. I get to stay home with my sons. I am a lucky man.

I'm always glad to hear from old and new friends, and nothing makes me happier on LT than a "thumbs up" on a review. So please drop me a note if you are so inclined.

Tietoja kirjastostani As of April 17, 2008, I have completed entering the bulk of my collection into LibraryThing. That's not to say that a few loose volumes aren't laying around, but the heavy lifting is done. This does not include the hundreds of books owned by my wife and children, although a few children's books have worked their way into the catalog. Maybe one day I will enter the Seuss collection.

What is the purpose of this catalog? Data entry was part of the attraction - laying to rest the question of just how many books I have, re-finding old friends. A deeper motivation was to leave a kind of record. As we are constantly reminded, put something on the internet, and it will be there FOREVER. So maybe one day my sons and grandchildren will look in out of curiosity and have what I never really had- a view into the old man's mind. And maybe they will speak the inevitable questions: "What the...!? Was he crazy!!?"

Good luck and happy reading!

Do your worst, just don't scare him off! It's good to know that Fox News has raised a generation of idiots to plague the Republican Party for another generation.

beatles is a nice conservative chewtoy :)

Thanks for the welcome! I've been here for a few weeks and have found comfy spots in other groups that have significantly less buffoonery (I love that quote, by the way)...don't worry--you didn't scare me off...I've encountered those folks that think they can argue you into anything as long as they quote enough "reputable" sources or attempt to make you feel like a fool...it is no longer effective :)

Hi makifat,
we can share even more than 31 books. Indeed, I still have to load on LT about other 100 books. Regarding the language, I have so many Italian books because I'm italian. I have been reading books in English only for two years. Congratulations for your library,
UrliMancati

I picked that up on dvd. Do you think it's incredibly boring? The narration is great. Some of the images, especially of the unholy kiss, are fantastic. Thanks for stopping by. I've been updating information and pictures on here so have a look at the current library if you want. See you then, -Mike.

I got a chuckle out of your comment at user franknotes profile regarding what I'll call his "benwaugh" rating.

Thank you! I have a great fondness for pin-up girls, and I use them as avatars on a couple of other forums where I post. I had to do a lot of searching to find a "family-friendly" girl to use here.

Hi Makifat, I started out just wanting to play Sidney Poitier's John Prentice at the chick bashing dinner and then got carried away. I probably should just let it go :)

Ah, I might have figured that if things seemed to be making sense, if a pattern began to emerge, that I'd skipped my haloperidol (so you might be best served taking my interest with a grain of that). I had briefly fixated on the topic of the homunculus in fiction and had put the Delblanc in my queue, only to find it branded as sold when I attempted to pay for it. Wearisome story short - when I bought another copy (and nothing respects a dime out here, not even a parking meter), it showed that you and I had each recently added the thing. From the feedback I have read so far, Peter Ackroyd's The House of Dr. Dee remains the most interesting fictional treatment of alembically cultivated dwarfs.

Ah ha! You're the one who snaked the cheap copy of Homunculus: A Magic Tale by Sven Delblanc I had lined up on ABE. Argh. If you get read it before I get to my copy, let me know what you think.

Thank you.

No, I hadn't heard of that book. I will see if my library has it. My interest in Yugoslavia comes from my background, which is Serbian. I see we share a few titles in common on the subject.

I enjoyed your blogs on Alamut, which I am currently reading, Doris Lessing, whom I revere highly, and Ernst Junger, whose Storm Of Steel I picked up recently but haven't started yet.

I'm glad you enjoyed "The Holy Mountain". Some of those images are unforgetable. I saw a bootleg vhs of a japanese laser disc of this film in the eighties. After decades of legal battles over copyright it finally got released on dvd last year. I agree the film drags in parts and the ending is a bit weak. Jodorowsky's film "El Topo" is also worth seeing. It's kind of an occult spagetti western. Don't bother with "Fando and Lis". It's unwatchable. Very unwatchable.

My Thoughts on The Matter:

The acorn does not fall far from the tree
The tree does not stray from the grounds it grew on
The grounds are for dismissal from a mixed ecology
Which sounds too much like the science of bartending.

I think I'll have a drink and think some more...

Thanks for your support. I don't know Oakes, but I suspect he's a poser rather than a trust fund baby. I invite all elitists of his ilk to move to wherever their oil stocks are making the most money and enjoy the system available there.

"Et a vous aussi, monsieur!" (French for "right back atcha") I think our shared library would make a nice liberal arts canon for, say, St. Joan of the Goth's Montessori school.
