À mon sujetWhen I retired my friends and coworkers asked me what I would do to keep busy. My reply: "I have a thousand books at home, most of which I've only read once, if that, and my local library adds new adult fiction and non-fiction titles at the rate of 200-300 each month. I won't have enough time to read everything I want to read."

I was right. I can't hope to keep up with the new stuff coming out, revisit old favorites, catalog my personal library and monitor internet developments and blogs. I wonder how I had time to do my job for all those years.

À propos de ma bibliothèqueMoved from a big house in Maryland to a smaller house in Florida so I had to cull the herd. I kept favorite books on transportation (trolleys, buses and trains), the Maryland area, the Pacific Northwest and some favorite classics. The kiddie lit collection went to my granddaughter and is noted as the MDG Collection. Now that I've deleted the items I've sold or given away I have to add my collection of modern fiction and all the volumes I've purchased since the move. First, though, I'm gonna jump in the pool or take a nap.
