Om mig☜©☞ That's me in the photo in the upper right hand side - a grown woman in her prime...However, I feel the picture below is my true inner child - an overly curious, cheeky, 5 year old boy...*GRINS*

Om mitt bibliotekIt certainly has been a challenge to list and log all my books past and present, nevertheless I believe I’m getting there. It’s been a daunting chore at times to go through my three huge bookcases to try to find the books I want to list. Many of them won’t be listed because I don’t have the patience to go through them all. Some have been sold or given away, a few were library books, much is packed away in the attic and others will be lost in my gray matter forever because I can’t recall all the books I have read; unless I happen upon a book in someone else library or a topic I've read about comes into conversation, only then do I seem to remember a book and list it.
As anyone can see I have a diverse interest in reading material, however subjects pertaining to the darker side of life seem to dominate my library. I learned early in life things that you fear are best confronted than to suffer the fear of the unknown. I guess you could say I’m on a quest to conquer those bogey men that sleep under our beds at night. I believe knowledge helps to dispel most fears I have.
Many of my family and friends have always expressed some surprise in my reading material – especially things pertaining to war, violence and death. I don't come across as one who would read books pertaining to holocausts, wars, murder and horror, (at least that is what I have been told) and sometimes I do prefer the classic romance; an erotic novel or other “womanly” things such as fashion, leisure, travel, the arts, self help and social topics. However, being an artist myself I’m curious to see what’s under all that fluff we call normal. I have an insatiable curiosity of life as well as death and the unknown.

Distrust a course in reading. People who really care for books read all of them.

~Andrew Lang

1.) The more you read, the better you get at it; the better you get at it, the more you like it; and the more you like it, the more you do it. 2.) And the more you read, the more you know; and the more you know, the smarter you grow.

~Author, Jim Trelease
