Om megFavorite literary quotes:
O the green wothe botheth. (Joyce)

I have perceiv'd that to be with those I like is enough, to stop in company with the rest at evening is enough, to be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough, to pass among them or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment, what is this then? I do not ask any more delight, I swim in it as in a sea. "I Sing the Body Electric." (Whitman)

Om biblioteket mittEclectic is becoming a word-cliche but I know no better. I might say "catholic", but that is too ambitious and encompassing, because my sad deficiency in the hard sciences and the concomitant small space in my library for science books, defeats that term. Sprawling is more apt in conveying not only the range of subjects, but my shelving methods as well. My library is rooted in my first life of academic and management positions at Rutgers, Princeton, Glassboro (now Rowan), and Temple (English, Psychology, Education, Research Methods & Statistics). But when my career path jumped to commercial real estate, the growth of my library became unhinged from my day job, and it has divagated like an errant traveler who senses the need to keep going even though he does not know and cares little for his actual destination. It is the experience of traveling that is meaningful to him. So it is with reading to me and I suspect most of those who truly enjoy the activity, and not just the fait accompli.

ACKKK! Look at all your philosophy! That has remained a closed book to me for most of my life; I ask the wrong questions. Curiously enough, I'm kind of sort of understanding the philosophical parts of Anathem, bless N.Stephenson's heart.
As to *Special Topics* --- I enjoyed it while I was reading it, but the ending was contrived and pretty much left a nasty taste in my mind. If you don't demand that what you read be an organic whole, I'd say pick it up. I didn't feel I wasted my time with it, but then, I reread all kinds of trash. (But it's my trash and therefore, good trash.)
I also note that your huge list of groups is pretty much of an equivalent size to my huge list of favorites. I recognize and like or love all of them except Mark Kurlansky.......well, I haven't read any Frederic Morton, but I think I know who he is. I'm intrigued that Edna S.V.M. is the only woman on your list.
And now, that's something of a conversation!

Hi.
I'm not sure how I got here, but I see my name as #2 on your weighted list of members with your books, and yet I don't recall your name on my list at all. Our libraries are almost the same size too. I don't understand. Maybe you didn't buy mysteries by the pound when you were younger.....
I do understand and applaud your comments about your library, so I wanted to speak. Now I have.
Hope to meet you sometime in some of the groups in which we both participate.

GSLulos,

I should also have edited my comments. sorry for the glitches.

Thank you for the comment. I have not been good with the social part of LT. My picture reveal that I am a whitehaired old woman, but most people choose a less than personal symbol. Have to admit: I stole you 'TIP OF THE DAY". I JUST LOVE THAT FOX.

I should edit my profile. All my books are in LT, including the bunch I just bought. Have tryed to quit, but ABE, is a click away, and I can walk to Borders. My real downfall is reading reviews, not ones here, the real good stuff that runs to 7 pages and brings in all the history and everybody else's opinion.

I do the same about # of people who have my books. It is fun.

Sorry for the serial posts. I don't think my mom has read the latest Furst, but I'll check with her. If it's still in hardcover probably not - she doesn't buy hardcovers as a rule.

Oh, and I see you've picked up Fringe of Leaves. That's quite a book. My aunt gave it to me when I was in my late teens and at the height of my historical romance phase. It was an excellent antidote (her intention of course).

Hi George

Nice to see you here.

Ha - love the profile pic!

I enjoyed rereading Green Mansions after several decades away from it. I found the "fantasy-like" aspects to be a technique used by Hudson to demonstrate that Rima was living apart from the rest of mankind. Her realm seemed to be Eden-like until invaded by others. There also could be a dream-like element in Abel's wish for her to be ethereal. The highlights of the book, for me, were the beautiful descriptions of nature and the romanticism. It will always be one of my favorites.

Thanks for adding my library to your interesting libraries list. I see we share quite a few books in common including some of my favorites. The breadth of your library would surprise me if I did not also have such eclectic tastes. "There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away,"(Dickinson)

PS: You might want to take a look at a book in my Library called: Life in London and than Google it on Google Books - it appears that the plates are listed but not the maps.
