Over mijn bibliotheek
My library is nowhere nearly as large as I would like and is much too big for the space I have to fill. If there is a flat surface in my house it has books on it. As of now, I have only cataloged about half of my books which means I have about 3,500 titles left to enter but they don't have the handy dandy bar code which made the first part of the job actually fun...yes, I am a big kid and proud of it. :-) As a child, while other girls were imagining meeting the man of their dreams and their storybook wedding, I used to picture myself in my personal library which had wall to wall books, was several stories tall and came complete with an attached rolling ladder for easy access. Of course the picture included a fireplace with matching wingback chairs and ottomans so people could put their feet up in front of the fire and lose themselves in the world of their choosing. Years later I tell myself the important part is that I got the books and the rest was just window dressing. The sad thing for me is that I realize that none of my family or friends feel the same way about books as I do and when I am gone these wonderful friends will probably end up in boxes in a storage unit somewhere. I keep hoping that I will meet someone who will be able to give them a good home and will treat them lovingly while allowing them to fulfill their purpose...to entertain and delight.
Over mij
I'm retired and, like all of the people on this site, I love to read! Even though I have a lot more free time I still can't find enough time to read and do everything else I would love to do. I have traveled the globe and finally settled down in Arizona and as soon as I can find the energy to leave this oven I am out of here!
