Welcome to My Place

Welcome to my library. This is not one of those lists of books that tell you what you must read. These books are just "a few of my favorite things"; books I have read and want to come back to; books I want to read but haven't got around to yet; books I pick up and put down every once in a while; and books to refer to as needed. Everything is out of copyright, so feel free to wander through the stacks and pull out something that looks interesting. You may even find an old friend to dust off and enjoy once again.

It needs be pointed out that this website is in a permanent state of construction and experimentation. I ask, therefore, for your patience and understanding. What you look for today, and are disappointed, you may find tomorrow; and what does not work today, may astound you tomorrow (I hope).
