About meI am usually reading several non-fiction and a novel; Because a meal, whether comestible or written, consists of more than one food.
This little thing probably says it all eloquently and with brevity:
I'm still trying to decide if there is causation between my Sci-Fi/Comics score and Dumb/Dork/Awkward score or just correlation or maybe just coincidence.
Thanks to StellarExplorer for link to the widget.
About my libraryMy current library is around 1/4 of the books I would love to own and around 1/6 the books I would like to own. But I add to both of those lists all the time.
The lack of accurate binding information on Amazon.com is a personal pet peeve.
I have read far more books than are in my library. I have usually lived in apartments and do not keep every book. If a book fails standard, I give it away.

You're very welcome! That book had been nagging at me for ages before I finally rediscovered it here.
"Considering you're 34, you were probably reading it somewhat close to the time that I was. I'm almost 31."
Oh, but that post of mine is old -- I'm only a month shy of 36 now!
"It's always nice to run into someone that remembers (in a sort of childhood haze) the same books that I remember."
I know...people post about so many titles I've never heard of, let alone read. It's refreshing to find someone with "overlapping" nostalgia.
"Also, interesting library."
Thanks! It's ever-evolving. Lately, I've had to shed a few books (ones that I didn't think I'd reread, or that my husband also owned) to make room for the new additions.
