Om mitt bibliotekI'm just getting started - I keep remembering books I've read or own but are in storage. This is my latest obsession :-)

I was a Park Ranger Naturalist in Yosemite for 10 years, and have been an outdoor/environmental educator, a botanist, an environmental consultant, and a science teacher, so I have a lot of science and natural history books relating to California and the West.

I've gone through phases of reading lots of "junk food books" like mysteries or science fiction or fantasy - some are quite hearty and not junk food at all, but some are merely guilty pleasures.

I've included "wishlist" books here, as well as "unread" books I own but haven't gotten around to reading yet (it's like money in the bank, baby!) so I haven't read all of these books. But there are a lot more I ~have~ read that I have yet to add, or even to remember.

Noticed you liked Fight Club, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed bunch of kids and a bit dark :) I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Hey Maggie.... Okay, will send it off tomorrow. Thanks for the twitter follow. I don't really do too much there either, except when I post a new blog article or find a good quote.

Hi! Thanks for the comments. I think we are a rare breed, perhaps, the birding, book-loving atheists... actually my wife falls into that category too.

I'm glad you like what you have read of The Infernova. If you are willing to write even just a short review of it for Amazon or elsewhere, I will happily send you a free copy. Just let me know, and tell me where to send it.

Thanks,

Michael (aka S.A.)

Hi - thanks for the add. or the ADD... hehe. That's my reading style - ADD. My interests are all over the place in some ways, yet focused in others - love natural history/geology/science/outdoor/travel stuff, which is all sort of interrelated. Love your tattoo!!

Yep. I haven't decided if I've got OCD or ADD or Asperger's or some other combination of intitals. It's not bad once you get used to it.

What kind of environmental consulting did you do? I've found a niche as an environmental compliance officer for a transit district, which allows me to work pretty much at my own pace. Right now, trying to figure out how to comply with new Colorado asbestos regulations.

I envy your Park Naturalist experience. I've never been to Yosemite, though.

I also have "guilty pleasure" reading, usually mysteries or scifi or even romance novels, sandwiched between more serious books. For one thing, they act as a "palatte cleaner", and for another they will usually fit in a pocket. Thus you can take a book everywhere you go and always have something to do if you have to stand in line or wait for a bus.

The tattoo was kind of interesting. In the middle of getting it, another tattoo artist walked into the room and announced: "You know, Descartes said you can't determine the existance of God through mathematical equations". She was obviously self-taught, since she pronounced it DEZ-cart-EEZ. I wouldn't have expected somebody with dreadlocks and multiple facial piercings to show an interest in Enlightenment Philosophy, but she demonstrated the fallacy of judging by appearance and we had a nice talk.

hope the link thing works, I need several on line courses, but I fear I may be untrainable!

Hi honey! Welcome to LT!

Hello!

I've read all of E. Nesbit that I could find. I'm a sucker for British children's fantasies, esp. early 20th century ones. There's something so cozy and innocent about them.

Wow, we do have a lot of books in common. I'll have to browse through your library for ideas, too. :) I'm always looking for more books on Yosemite. Even with my YA discount, it can get expensive, though.

I've never heard of Nerdfighters but I'll check it out. Hoorah for nerds!!

I've been to Bishop several times -- gorgeous country! I'm becoming more and more enamored of the Eastern Sierra as well as the western slope. It's hard to decide where to go on vacation anymore.

I've got to confess, nothing has cost me more hours sitting at my computer than LibraryThing. I went through a manic genealogy phase a before I found LT, but that project has winded down. Now I'm in here every day, and I have gotten 5 free books to read and review so how cool is that?? And then I found Nerdfighters and here we all are sharing our cool hangouts. Of course I have much to add to livejournal so I guess I'll be sitting at my computer for the rest of the year! Great troubles to have! Happy reading,
Mel

HI MEL!!!!! heeehheeeeeee wheeeeee!!!!

I'm kinda giddy right now.

I had almost 600 books on Shelfari already, and I downloaded them into a spreadsheet, then uploaded to here from the spreadsheet. All it does is take ISBN numbers, though, so all ratings, tags, notes, reviews, etc were lost (although I still have them on Shelfari).

I'm happily re-tagging and rating books now, and some came through as duplicates, so I'm deleting those - LibraryThing really is better and easier to use. AND I already have FRIENDS here - YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

*Big grin*

Our worlds are colliding, awesome fusion! How did you get that many books in so fast, did you upload your database or one by one? welcome aboard!
