Om migI studied Cultural Heritage and work at the National Library in the Netherlands at Digital Preservation. I'm a huge fan of Bette Midler (that explains my four copies of A view from a broad). I love history, especially the middle ages (preferably early middle ages). I also cross stitch (working on a replica of The Lady and The Unicorn: A Mon Seul Desir now), crochet amigurumi and game (Nintendo DS and Wii).

What kind of books do I like?
Ever since I started to really frequent LibraryThing I have started to read more and more. Slowly I see that my taste in books is changing. I used to love (and still like) my historical adventures (when they keep their facts at least a bit straight). I still like historical fiction (but it must keep it's facts a bit straight), especially about the middle ages, usually in the form of a good mystery. I also like fantasy and a bit of science fiction, although lately I am moving more and more towards SF, away from fantasy. I am now trying to read more "regular" novels and classics, to broaden my horizons. That way I found out that I love Jane Austen and Charlotte Brönte, and I cannot wait to try more of their works. I also found out that nineteenth century novels are quite readable, so I will enjoy more of them in the coming years.
I also read a lot of non-fiction, mostly about medieval history, but also about popular science.
I almost exclusively read books I own, I almost never borrow. I am always "a bit" behind in reading, although recently I have been trying to at least read what I have last bought first, before buying more.
Anything I read before I started keeping lists of dates read I give the read dates of 2003-01-01/2003-01-02, even if the book is published after that time. I just have no clue when I read them. I need to work on tagging. I'll at least keep genre tags (my own genres :D) and am working on subject tags, at least for time, location and historical personalities.

Re your query regarding 'Jaguars & Electric Eels'. No,this is merely an abridgment (as are all of this excellent series) If you do a search of Googlebooks,they have a fuller (I'm not sure if they give the complete book - doubtful -but certainly a fuller account at any rate. You could also try Project Gutenburgh who may have the fuller text.
Hope this is of help.

I've just been having a wee look in your library and see that the Name of the Rose is in your next 5 to read. I finally read it last year - it'd been on the shelf for over 10 years - and really, really loved it. I haven't managed to read anything else by Eco yet though.
Also just went to a map of the Netherlands to see where Hoorn is... I've been to Amsterdam a couple of times because good friends were living there - a lovely city. Last time, in 2002, they drove us over the dyke between Lelystad and Enkhuizen, which looks pretty close to you!
Right, better go and read a book or something. Hope you like the 75 BC group - there are tons of nice people in it.

No problemo! One of the dubious advantages of being a South African of "a certain age" is that we all had to learn Afrikaans at school, and I don't find the conversion to reading Dutch all that difficult. In fact, two years ago when I had the pleasure of visiting your country (Wageningen, Harderwijk, Schovenhorst, Hoge Veluwe, Baarn, Utrecht) I even found I could converse with some of the locals in a strange hybrid Afrikaans/Dutch/accent-without-a-trace-o... So bigh thankyous for those sites, which I shall certainly pass on to the others on the committee.
Would you accept a virtual long-distance hug an an expression of gratitude? If so, ((((hugs))))
All best

You are an angel straight from heaven, and I shall call on your help in as much detail and at as great a length as you let me! Yes I do need all the help I can get. The score at the moment is that Busifer needs to locate a friend who's away on holiday right now, so things are stalled for a couple of weeks there. But I mentioned it to the others (International Code for Botanical Nomenclature, Special Committee on Electronic Publication if you want to know) and they want a document to refer to in the discussions we'll be having over the next 2 years. So I'm now thinking I should come to you cap-in-hand when I have something, and ask for your take on it before posting idiocy and nonsense.
The basic problem is that on the one hand, the cost of academic publication as ink-on-paper is astronomical, so more and more journals are going electronic. On the other, the old-men-in-suits (of both genders and all ages, actually) who vote on changes to the code have not as yet had the courage to face up to the problem, and hide behind the mantra that e-publication is ephemeral, and will be unreadable in decades when original descriptions of new species (etc.) need to be readable for ever. Which is not totally untrue, but omits to note the number of cases where all copies of a paper publication have been destroyed over the last 250 years.
Thank you, thank you and thank you again a million times over for your kind offer, which is much appreciated.
All best
Hugh
