Sobre mimI read. It is a central part of who I am. Many of the books listed have to do with my work, but by no means all. I'm a political scientist, focused on Latin America and the Caribbean (more the latter than the former), and political theory (and the overlap between political theory and the Caribbean -- there's more than you might think).

Sobre a minha bibliotecaIt's mixed. Many of the books are ones I have in my office, some are books I have at home. It's a work in progress. I read science fiction, fantasy, and alternative history for pleasure. Not surprisingly, most of the books in my collection have something to do with my academic interests and work. I also like books of blunders, typos and curiosities (when you have students who tell you Confucius was a major figure in the early development of Western Europe, you need a laugh).

Thanks for the response. I see we share the Honeychurch book. He dropped by (on a boat) when we were in training in St. Lucia and gave us a great introdutory lecture to the Caribbean. If I travel back I will probably check out the French islands.Yes, Antigua was a great experience. I worked at the Dockyard museum with an archaeologist.

My Kingdom

A little kingdom I possess
where thoughts and feelings dwell,
And very hard I find the task
of governing it well;
For passion tempts and troubles me,
A wayward will misleads,
And selfishness its shadow casts
On all my words and deeds.

How can I learn to rule myself,
to be the child I should,
Honest and brave, nor ever tire
Of trying to be good?
How can I keep a sunny soul
To shine along life's way?
How can I tune my little heart
To sweetly sing all day?

Dear Father, help me with the love
that casteth out my fear;
Teach me to lean on thee, and feel
That thou art very near,
That no temptation is unseen
No childish grief too small,
Since thou, with patience infinite,
Doth soothe and comfort all.

I do not ask for any crown
But that which all may win
Nor seek to conquer any world
Except the one within.
Be thou my guide until I find,
Led by a tender hand,
Thy happy kingdom in myself
And dare to take command.

Louisa May Alcott

I have just started adding my Caribbean books purchased in the Peace Corps in the Caribbean 5 years ago. I visited 6 English speaking islands and collected there, but was in Antigua, so most of my materials are from there. Looks like you live in Atlanta too.

And alternative history

Did you read World War III by that British military fellow

Thanks for stopping by with a comment! I'll leave you with this sentence (I promise I didn't make it up). "If a Vestigial Virgin betrayed her valves, they buried her alive." (I'm reminded of the "You know you're a teacher if---" list where the first item is "---you think they should put a Valium lick in the faculty lounge.")
I miss teaching as it was ten years ago; I don't miss last year at all.
Old, know it, can't help it, wouldn't if I could.

I'm not sure how I got here - maybe through Wallace Stevens.... We don't share many books, but I do love the ones we have in common. I had to stop and speak, however, because of your student quote in your profile. I'm too lazy to actually try to write something, but I have kept all of the wonderful things students have said and written through my teaching career. Everything from "The Romans held chariot races in the Gluteus Maximus" to "I like Macdonald's because they have the dollar mean you." If I ever published my collection, I name it That was a Big Missed Ape - (from one confessing to having given a paper to a friend to copy)
So, well-met!
Peggy

(I could use an edit function here. This is the third time I've tried to underline my book title and nothing else. If it doesn't work this time, I'll just look ignorant. So there.)

Here's a unique opportunity for all of our LibraryThing friends to take a peek at our prepress review copy of Preparation: [H]ead before it is officially published!

We are awaiting our prepress copies to arrive in the mail for us to look over before giving the official go-ahead and assigning the ISBN. Although the link may allow you to purchase the book now, please don't! No matter how valuable you may think it may prove in a future eBay auction, we don't want anyone to be disappointed should we discover errors in the physical copy.

We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did writing it.

Feel free to sound off with review commentary!

Here's the private link to check it out:

I don't think so, but I did notice you on my shared favourites list and picked up a vague idea of your interests from there.

What I have learned from the LibraryThing reviews of AMERICAN THEOCRACY UNPACKED:

1) no one really liked the book very much, and some people really hated it;
2) the structure, content, and style, which was a conscious experiment, wasn't a very successful one;
3) people really hate seeing Wikipedia listed as a source.

Fair enough! Onward...

Cordially,

Fred Zimmerman

PS to fledgist -- "vastly unauthoritative" was ironic ...
