Om migI've been an avid reader all my life. I received my PhD in English Literature from the University of Virginia in 1996 with a specialization in Renaissance literature. That is why I'm using Edmund Spenser for my picture (he's also better looking than I am!). I've long since left academia for the greener fields of IT--I'm a programmer. However, I'm still an avid reader, I just don't read as much as I used to. On the bright side, I get to choose what I read, and I never again have to read another poorly written journal article. I mostly read the classics because I enjoy them, but I'm always looking for an off-the-radar screen book that is a real gem.

Om mitt bibliotekIt's pretty eclectic, I guess, but it will take me awhile to get it on here and we'll see how eclectic it is. It's fairly heavily focused on 20th century fiction writers. The poetry I have is pretty canonical, at least until the 20th and 21st centuries. Drama and non-fiction are pretty weak and very eclectic. I also have an interest in Christian spiritual writing, particularly Christian mysticism.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your thoughtful choices for my Santathing. Happy Christmas, Yolana
Hi wrmjr

Thanks for adding me to your interesting libraries. I enjoyed your review of Battle Cry of Freedom--I'm starting that book on April 2nd and hope to finish it before May. Wish me luck! I'm reading several books about the American Civil War this year and hope this one will give me the background I'll need when i read more specialized books.

I also liked the review of the prayer book by Barth. It's been several years, but I remember being interested in him when I was in college. I think I'll look for that prayer book to add to my library.

The fiction book I'll be reading next is Brideshead Revisited. I'm ashamed to admit I never got around to reading it, although I did read a couple of Waugh's more humorous, satiric novels. One of the things I'm finding out about being on LT--I starting to fill in the gaps in my reading, especially 20th century literary fiction. I've always loved the Classics--I have several I reread regularly--but a lot of very fine 20th century authors I've not given proper attention to, so I'm working on that now.

I watch for your comments on the threads!
Did you hear the "What Do We Need Algebra For?" on Weekend Edition on Saturday, February 28? If not, here's a link to the story: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story... Thought you might be interested given your comments on my 50 Book Challenge. Enjoy!
my wife comes from a family of in and out of state dookies. She started there in 1969 but had the good sense to drop out. A few years on, she worked her way through UNC-CH. We're trying hard to get one of our nieces to go to UNC-A or another NC school. She is set, however, on an art history major so is thinking about Elon. It's not that easy to find a small school w/ an explicit art history major, though there are certainly art historians on faculty at UNCA and we keep saying that grad schools don't care that much about major vs minor. But Elon would be even closer; though not such a lovely setting as UNCA. (Patty's sister/our nieces are in Oxford MS and avoiding the greek/drink/football heavy scene available there in their college searching.) The older one is greatly enjoying Whitman College in Walla Walla Wa.
