Tietoja minusta I'm 59 years old and live in southern Delaware, where I have been acquiring books, not systematically, for most of my life. My son, also a book lover, turned me on to Library Thing recently. Some of the earliest volumes in my library belonged to various grandparents and great-grandparents in the 19th and early 20th Centuries. For instance, I inherited a set of Dickens' works which my great-grandfather received as a gift in the 1880s. It has now been passed on to my son. The idea that books should be a part of one's legacy, to be passed down from generation to generation, appeals to me.

I am especially fond of, in no particular order of preference, history, diaries and journals, English and American literature, classics, art books, Polar exploration, essays, journalism, politics, biography, etc.

Tietoja kirjastostani I have accumulated thousands of books, which threaten to take over the house, my office, and every other space around. I will gradually add them to my catalog as time permits. As teenagers, my brother and I were friendly with a retired Episcopal minister who lived in a small house by the sea. His home was completely filled with piles of books. He had small walkways through the stacks to his kitchen, his bedroom, his seating area by the window, and so on. I'm not quite that far gone yet, but then I'm not as old as he was when we knew him.

How did you get interested in Peter Beard? I found out about his journaling and followed from there.

Hello, I noticed that you're the only one who has Mencken and Sara: A life in letters. I recently fell in love with Mencken's wit and curious about his other side, which is his soft side and hoped to find it through his love letters. But I discovered recently that the book is not published anymore and not available at this side of the world. You gave the book 2 stars, is it that bad? Thanks.

I also have many inherited books, some are textbooks from the 1800s with my ancestors scribbling and doodles in them. One even has a bit of a racy poem! I like memiors, journals and histories as well as the classics in fiction. Now and then I like to spice it up with a Golden Age mystery. My favorite genres are: cowboys, pioneers, sea adventures and WWII. I'm only listing the books I've read in the past two years here.

Yes, I loved N by E it has a special place in my heart. You know Kent is mentioned in the book Arctic Dreams I suggested for you. Lopez includes some quotes from his journal, written while he's shipwrecked at Karajak Fiord. I think this one is especially nice: "Maybe we have lived only to be here now."

Lovely that you got the Eliot Porter books, I like his Nature's Chaos. Yes my son is off on quite a literary tangent. I'm just trying to cover the classics with some art, poetry and science thrown in for excitement. Are you a photographer? Your books and LibraryThing photo have that feel to them.

I heard of him in the Venerable Bede's history. He's a pretty interesting guy; he raged against the machine and all that. I bought a set of used latin classics in Nova Scotia that has a lot of really beautiful illustrations including a cool one of him surrendering to Caesar. In that one he had long blond hair and a big Celt moustache, sort of Nietzsche like.

Hi, I also have a son who's logged his books - mainly geology and paleontology - on LibraryThing. And even though I've only recently begun a library we have surprisingly similar interests. Arctic Dreams by Barry Lopez is something I've read that you might like.

Hi Dad,

Glad to see your library is up and running. Have you seen mine yet? I haven't put up most things but there are quite a few.
