Sobre mimSemi- Retired Schoolteacher, aged 72.
While I have other hobbies, my particular interest in books are histories, mysteries and classic children's books.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaStarted from birth; added to regularly. Books spread from room to room,but have now been consolidated in a new library converted from our former garage. My cataloguing is almost complete.

Larry Niven is science fiction, which, I note, is not one of your interests, but many of your other interests are like mine, particularly the historical fiction and others like Simon Scarrow, John Masters (I first read him back in the '60s and '70s) and Wilbur Smith. Opera is a love, but to listen and watch, I've always been disapointed that I can't sing well enough to take part!

I enjoyed the one I read, but they are fairly hard to come by here.

Hello,
I've added covers for some books we share, namely by Philip Turner and Maud & Miska Petersham.
Hi,
I see we share some of my favorite authors - Angela Thirkell, Philip Turner, and some others too like A. J. Cronin & Nevil Shute. I just had to say hello!
Thanks for the complement of adding me to your 'Favourite Libraries' listing.I notice we also share 423 books. I was interested to peruse your tabs Mystery and Medieval Mystery.These in my collection seem to relate most nearly to Crime fiction and Historical Crime fiction. (at least until I get round to dividing them further)
All the best
Nice to hear from you. My nom de toile is just a straight translation of my real name (see Email). It's been used since I was at school. I couldn't get on with 'The Bone People' so I think my only antipodean book is 'The Magic Pudding'...
Re Marie Antoinette, only yesterday I added 'The Ghosts of the Trianon' to my listings.
Regards
...then I wondered about Dornford Yates, and lo! and behold..
Thought I'd join in as we're two of the few to be reading Stephen Lister, then saw you have Old Herbaceous!. I still re-read Arthur Ransome, and I'm 74 this week! Has the amount of food the Swallows consume ever struck you?
How are you doing? Following your list (and being methodic about it), I have started to get all of Paul Doherty's books. Brother Athelstan is my favorite, perhaps on account of our shared "profession"...
Hello, Just joined and noticed you and I share Marcia Davenport's MY BROTHER'S KEEPER. I read that book as a young teen and never forgot it. I had a chance to pick up a good hardcover at a library book sale. I'm 51 and a college lecturer in English. I think they (books) don't come much better than MY BROTHER'S KEEPER.
You have a great collection of medieval mysteries, from which I have drawn some pointers for my next book-hunting expeditions... Thanks !

P.S. Is Tokoroa in the North Island? Many years ago, I lived for a time in Wanganui...
Interesting to see that the books we share are almost all ones that we're reprinting - I run Fidra Books in Edinburgh. As I continue to add my books, I look forward to see how the shared books list grows!
I still like to read the Ransome books when I'm sick--and I'm 60! Other favorites were Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet.
Thanks for your response regarding A.J. Cronin. Yes, I'm leaving bookselling mostly because of a knee problem (lots of standing there. I will miss it, I'm sure but the self-imposed pressure to always be reading something forthcoming or new will be off. I may return to my pre-bookselling reading habits. The cool thing is that I will have my employee's discount (35% off) for at least a year after I leave!
P.S. I'm also fascinated that we even share Kenneth Roberts and Kate Douglas Wiggin...and you're half way around the world (or I am, depending on your viewpoint).
So, I finally put in my A. J. Cronin collection and naturally became curious about others who have a fair number of the Scottish authors' work. My is a sentimental collection; I read everything of his I could get my hands on in the early 1980's (when I had several small children underfoot). Since these reads were literally hundreds, if not thousands of other reads ago; I can only remember small bits about the books. What's your A. J. Cronin story?

A new library! I'm jealous. We're still in the "books spread from room to room" stage. My cataloguing also has a way to go...
One you may have heard via the silver screen, 'The Flight of the Phoenix' If you are thinking of seeing the film, catch the one with James Stewart and Richard Attenborough. It is rare that a re-make measures up to the original.
