Om mitt bibliotekIn an effort to conserve space and be a greener citizen, I'm swapping or otherwise donating my books. This has been very, very difficult for me. Library Thing allows me to continue to "own" my books even after they are no longer physically in my possession. It has made it a little easier.
I rate a book the number of stars I think it deserves within its peer group. So, for example, a rating for a mystery is my opinion of that book compared to other mysteries I've read rather than compared to every book I've read. In addition, ratings reflect how I felt about the book when I read it and may or (more likely on some of the older ones) may not reflect my current opinion.
Anything I've read so long ago that I remember it but not well is dated with my anniversary 10/06/1996. Anything I've read recently is dated with my son's birthday 10/23/2005. Anything I've read this year but before I joined LT is dated 01/22/2007. Books I haven't read and don't intend to read anytime soon are dated with my 17th birthday 01/22/1984.

This is a general announcement that I’m sending to LT profile pages, FaceBook walls, and email addresses, in order to get in touch with everyone as soon as possible and as efficiently as possible.
I just returned from the Potrerillos library, where I turned over 34 books to the absolutely delighted librarian, Sra. Enilde. On Monday, I’m going to return there to take pix to send to you, so that you can see the fruits of your labor of love.
My only regret--and it is a deep one--is that I couldn’t have done this sooner. But the fact of the matter is that I have only been walking any distance except for around the house for about a week, and only within the past few days have I built up any endurance; even a short walk has left me wiped out.
But today was the day! She had been told beforehand by our friend Maricin that we were going to do this, but let me tell you, she was blown away by both the quantity and the beauty--as she put it--of the books. She kept saying, “Que lindo, que lindo” (How beautiful, how beautiful) as she pulled the books out of the boxes.
So thank you once again for your generosity; you’ll get pictures as soon as I get them. And we may have the representante there--she mentioned talking to him about it.

I'm of two minds about going to "minority" functions. I've always had friends of all different backgrounds and ethnic groups, growing up in Jersey City, NJ, one of the most culturally diverse cities in the US, and I dislike functions or groups where others can't be included. I'd like to see some of my former friends and classmates, but I'd like it better if it was a more inclusive reunion.
Cheers,
Darryl

Many, many thanks! Yes, the books will indeed get to a library and to kids who want to read.
I'm truly overwhelmed at the response to what was a more or less spontaneous suggestion on my part, knowing how frustrating it is to want to help and to have so few productive avenues to do so.
Thank you many times over. I intend to post pictures once the books start coming in. At this point, there are at least a dozen and probably more on their way to me in Miami. I should start getting them in about 10 days. I'll let everyone know via my thread as they arrive.
How utterly exciting!

Just wanted to say hi from another Pittsburgh-area LTer. I noticed your post with the Pittsbugh Post Gazette Best of 2008 list and that we're both on the 75 Book Challenge for 2009. I discovered LT just a few months ago and have become hopelessly addicted.
Go Steelers!

I've been meaning to say hello for a while - I keep seeing you in the same groups and now we're reading the same books. I finished the Idea of Perfection last week and now I'm reading the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. I seem to be having a great run at the moment with fiction.
But I came visiting in your library ages ago when I saw you have just found out that your son has a bad nut allergy. (that's a lovely photo!) So does ours. We've known for a few years about the nut one and it gets easier. We have egg, dairy, wheat, soy, potato, and kiwifruit as well (but not all of them anaphylactic). I hope you're doing ok with it all. I found it very hard to start with.
Is the Jesus book worth adding to my pile of books? (I'm an ex-Catholic atheist, if that helps...)
Better go, 1 year old in front of American world domination programme again. (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse).
Cheers

Since both of us seem to read all over the place I guess we're bound to have some mutual favorites. I really like Denise Mina, and I see that you have two TBR. Deception is a standalone, but Garnethill is the first in her super-excellent trilogy (Exhile is the second). I may finish the third one, Resolution tonight and I hate to see it end. Make a note (sure) that the Garnethill trilogy should be read in order—otherwise, it won't make any sense.
Thanks again, Charlie

Just saw your post re: snake handling (Did you actually see the folks in action at the church you visited? If so, well, wow!) and wanted to recommend the play "Holy Ghosts" by Romulus Linney. I read it when it was produced back in the 80s and, at least in my memory, found it to be an interesting play. Here's a quote from Linney in the NYT (gotta love Google): ''The play is funny,'' he says, ''but it's not a satire. It takes these rural people very seriously. It deals with people who, I think, are very desperate. Their religion is not a small thing to them, their humanity is not a small thing to them. The two things are very much mixed together. It's not a matter of an actor getting on stage and making fun of a country bumpkin; it's a matter of trying to understand very deep feelings of people who are themselves at the bottom of American life. You can't get much further down, as far as rural American is concerned, than a lot of these folks. And yet they feel, through the extreme cathartic experience that they go through in these services, they feel recognized by some great power.
Anyway, my best,
Teresa

Depends what you're looking for. If you want a book that has the history of religion and how it was taught in America, this book is great! If, like me, you are looking for a book that talks about the religions in America today and acts as an introduction to the history, beliefs, etc. - this book is absolutely not what you're looking for. From the way the book was advertised, I thought I'd be learning about Islam and Judaism and Hinduism, etc, and how the religions compare to each other. This isn't really covered in the book at all! So it just depends what you're looking for.

Thanks for your comment about my review. I will have to look out for the Isaacson book. Gordon Wood's The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin is already in my library, so that will probably be the next Franklin book I read.

I also like to read and am trying to be greener.
I take the bus. It is also hard for me to part with books. I like the way you worded your 'green' statement. I truly agree with you. Library thing is helpful in allowing us to part with books. I don't have a book case, I'm in a small apartment, so I only have so much room and closet space.
The only book we share is Bastard out of Carolina. The book was better than the movie, but the movie wasn't bad.
bye,

I read your very thorough review of Mallory's Oracle, and I want to encourage you to go on with the series. It is absolutely my favorite mystery/detective series, and I have been reading them all my life. Don't expect to "warm up" to Mallory, though. She is not that kind of character. I am reading the whole series for the second time now, and I find that she breaks my heart more than anything else. She is just so damaged.
I look forward to what you have to say about the rest of the series.
