La mia biblioteca

My “library” consists of books I have especially loved, books that I intend to read again, books that I seriously intend to read, a decent reference collection, and poetry. Separately I have a number books to be read and passed along (mysteries, thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, some mainstream and non-fiction). At present I am adding very few titles to my library of keepers: since I am now more than seventy years old, I am unlikely to return again to any of the newer reads (and I do seem to have enough to keep me busy, not to mention my DVD collection and Netflix). I am conscientiously reviewing my "permanent" collection and disposing of those that I have decided I will no longer return to.

Informazione su di me

I am a librarian who took early retirement in 1989 to return from New York to rural Alabama to take over the family house after the death of my parents. My friend Tom Miller, who wrote under the name Tom Canford, retired as a motion picture publicist and accompanied me.

One of the great benefits of using Library Thing to catalog my collection is that it has forced me to handle every single book in what I considered my “permanent” collection. I discovered that quite a few were not so permanent and others were redundant for various reasons. Some of these I am listing for sale on Amazon, some I am passing along to the Tuscaloosa Public Library, and several I have listed in my inventory on BookMooch:

At present I am the author of two novels, "A Howling in the Night (my rewrite of the earlier "Rumors of Wolves") and "Siren Song."
