Sobre mima librarian, reader, museum and book store browser who steals time from daily chores to visit with old friends as it were and dwell in the life of the mind and imagination.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaeclectic and chaotic. still sorting and arranging books following my july 2006 house fire. LT has provided me the opportunity to inventory my books which I've been gathering for nearly a half century AND to 'web 2.0' with other readers and foragers for knowledge.

Fall 2008 -- focus now is on bib record cleanup and covers. thinking about adding LPs and CDs, but current LT entry form is for books and does not accommodate audiovisual bibl. requirements.

Nov 08 -- scanner kaput, but replacement works well. lots of paperback Clancy, Cornwell, Baldacci, Johansen, Thor, and other page turners. And I found a 'lost' carton of books about classical music and musicians.

Jan 09 -- re-working LT entries for art books, scanning bookjackets and covers.

Excellent review of Gautier. I will need to stop procrastinating and pick this one up ASAP.

OK, just have to ask: Are you related to a fine lady who taught 4th Grade in Austin, Texas, approximately 1960? Married name was Ralston. One of the few teachers in US that I had and can remember.

Thanks for having such an interesting library. Great to see what a librarian who loves ideas is up to.

"thinking about adding LPs and CDs, but current LT entry form is for books and does not accommodate audiovisual bibl. requirements."

Hello Chuck,

I was viewing our common library--we have more than a few books--and came on your comment above. I, too, have thought about that, wondering how I might do it. I have over 400 albums of of folk music, western (cowboy) music and calypso, plus a couple of hundred CDs of same; this doesn't count my classical and popular music recordings. It would be fantastic to catalog them as easily as is done at LT.

Most of my library is listed already; I only keep books that really interest me, and which I refer to, often. I don't keep fiction nor non-fiction which is on topics that I don't have an enduring interest in.

FYI
I have uploaded a cover for "The Best School in the World": West Point, the Pre–Civil War Years, 1833–1866 by James L. Morrison. This is from the 1986 Kent State University Press hardcover edition.

Your HWL photo makes me ache. Oh it hurts, this life of longing and grace.

publicado por keylawk às 10:30 pm (EST) em Apr 8, 2009

Thanks for the cover (and for the message) - in librarything.com I didn't see it, but in German one.

publicado por Anxy às 2:10 am (EST) em Mar 13, 2009

Thanks for letting me know. I'll check it out.

Thanks for alerting me to this -- though LT seems not yet to have listed your cover image. I guess when I entered my copy, my 3-in-1 scanner was cluttered with stuff and I was too tired to shift it. Now that you've taken the initiative, I've uploaded the cover from my scanner. Nice to know someone else has read Hollo's poems.

I liked your review of Meditations on Violence so much, I've added the book to my library as a wishlist item so I can add to my martial arts library. Nice review!

Hi-Just a note I uploaded a book cover for:
With the Flag to Pretoria
in case you want to grab it.
Cheers-

Hi Chuck, thanks, I'll add that cover to my entry. Col D. was still at USMA when I was working on my PhD in the early 90s and was a great help to me in several areas. He's a geat guy.

Chuck,

That is a tremendous story. And should you pick up a copy of 'flatmanCROOKED - First Winter,' we'd be fascinated to hear your take on our translation of "Gradus Ad Parnassum." When it was first published in 'The Chronicles of Bustos Domecq,' interestingly enough, Borges himself helped with the translation from the Spanish. But he admittedly did not write well in English, and it is rather ironic that our translation may be truer to the original Spanish than the great Argentine's translation was.

We noticed that you were a Jorge Luis Borges fan, and we wanted to let you know that we've just published a brand new translation of his story, "Gradus Ad Parnassum," in our anthology, 'flatmanCROOKED – First Winter.' "Gradus Ad Parnassum" is not currently in print in English, so we're rather excited to publish what is to many Borges fans brand new work. The book also includes debut fiction from National Book Award winner Ha Jin, as well as stories from myriad other established and emerging authors. Check the book out at www.flatmancrooked.com/fmcmarket.html. If you get it through our website, it's significantly cheaper than through Amazon or Barnes & Noble!

Welcome to the Federico II group! What part of his life & times are you especially interested in?

thanks for the heads up on the fielding dawson cover!

I see your cover now! I didn't know I was picking up a rarity, these little surprises are wonderful.

I don't know if you'll see this as showing my photo--yours doesn't appear for me on the work page.

If that doesn't work... searching for the title:

http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?...

It's a hardcover (no dustjacket, I don't know if one was included originally). Yes, I was a little surprised to see this essay wasn't included in "ABC of reading". I suppose the latter may be an elaboration of the ideas in "How to read" (haven't read "ABC..." yet.)

publicado por LolaWalser às 9:36 pm (EST) em May 15, 2008

Oh, thanks! I uploaded a (very bad) photo of my copy, a 1931 Desmond Harmsworth edition. It's interesting we seem to be the only people on LT who list it.

Hello again,

1. I hadn't read my profile comments for some time and currently, they feel rather prescient. I'm a physician/academic at Michigan though I will someday soon leave both medicine and academia and will take up something more compatible with becoming a single, adoptive parent.

2. Thank you for collaborating with Helene LaFaro on a memoir of Scott LaFaro - I thoroughly enjoy the many, many pieces that you have cataloged on your site but I would deeply appreciate a longer-form consideration of this marvelous musician.

3. Jazz. The 1960's. Admittedly, I am slightly (or perhaps not merely slightly) envious that you were able to see live performance from these musicians who I can readily listen to, but otherwise exist as a near myth for me. That said, I celebrated my fortieth birthday by taking my first vacation, a vacation that included seeing Ken Vandermark, and I think, rather than dreaming about the mythological past of jazz, I shall immerse myself more often in the many fine jazz musicians currently performing.

My best to you (and your project),
Rob.

Where's that LT icon / flavicon? Time to get after one of your LT gremlins!

We have a favicon! Is it not showing up for you? Next to the URL?

publicado por ablachly às 4:21 pm (EST) em May 2, 2008

I think Amazon closes review posting until the book actually comes out. I wouldn't worry about it though - as long as you've posted it on LibraryThing, you're all set!

Best,
Abby

My gracious - first, my thanks for your comment and much thanks for your Scott LaFaro site. I have a special love for the double bass and of course Scott LaFaro, during his brief career, re-imagined the melodic possibilities of the bass. I have frequently visited your site and I am quite grateful to your extensive efforts at documenting LaFaro's contributions to jazz.

I also love Eric Dolphy, another exemplary jazz musician who died early, and, though I have extensive recordings of Dolphy in his final year, I would have loved to have seen him in performance as you have.

Lastly, perhaps someday I shall track down a copy of the illustrious T. Monk Time magazine cover but, for now, I am grateful that its contents are readily available online (http://www.howardm.net/tsmonk/tsmonk3.ph...).

My great thanks - it is wonderful to hear from another person who listens to jazz.
Rob.

Hello Charles, thanks for connecting with me. And hello neighbor -- just noticed you're from the metro Atlanta area as I am. I live in Rome, where do you live? You have the largest number of books I have ever seen here. Be sure to re-read Sun Tzu's The Art of War. Of course not everyone reads it regularly as I do! :-) Sincerely, Thomas
