"The days are dust
And in the wind
They spill and tumble.
Here an Ancient Mariner
There a Kubla Khan;
They fall
And are no more." (unknown author)

Sobre a minha bibliotecaAlways expanding despite easy access to an excellent public library system. Books catalogued are limited to those actually on my shelves that I've read and do not include numerous books checked out from libraries over the years or those awaiting me in sizeable TBR piles.
