À mon sujetI'm a Nashville based writer who has just recently returned to school. My primary interests are sports, social science and the arts. We'll see where this leads. If you have a very high boredom threshold, you're welcome to look at my art and writing. My art can be found at: ZenDixie.com
My blog is called: Confessions of a Cheese Grits Fiend
and I cover the Nashville Predators for The Hockey Writers.com. You can find my author archive page at jas faulkner: The Hockey Writers.com.

À propos de ma bibliothèqueHi! If you have visited before you may remember there were quite a few more books listed than there are now.

At the first of the year I realized that my library was becoming more of a work of digital and architectural art than a functioning part of my house. I have seen quite a few libraries that fall under that category and many of them are lovely. They're also usually found in much larger homes. My house is rather small and I live in every room.

I need to feel like I know my books, movies and music and they need to have some connection to my life as an inhabitant of this space. After all, there isn't a room in my house that doesn't have a shelf in it. Shouldn't the books be vital to the life going on here? So I have taken everything down except the Early Reviewers Books. Over the next year or so, as books, movies and music pass through my hands, I will assess if they are simply resting or if they are languishing in my home. Those that are resting will be kept, reviewed and cataloged. Those that have lost their spark for me will be sent someplace where they'll find new life in the hands of people who will get more from them than I do. Stay tuned and watch my library listings grow and change!

Peace,
Jas Faulkner

hi jas,

your essay about your collection struck a chord with me, but i was disappointed to see that i can't peruse your library since it's set to "private." how were others able to see it? i came upon your profile because it's featured on the "take the tour" link on the front page of library thing, and was curious to learn about the person (and library) behind the profile image. what sort of critter is that in the photo on your profile?

thanks,
peter

Hi jasfaulkner,

I also share my life with a dog, a garden and books plus a 17 yr old son who still lives at home. I have not yet upgraded my catalogue from unpaid, so only a portion of my collection is represented here. I will eventually. Reading your 'about my library' prompted me to reply with some of my personal feelings about my relationship with my collection. I have recently renovated my home and have purchased brand new book shelves, painted the walls, polished the boards and re-curtained. I have created a reading room / computer room (have to concede the room to my son regularly so he can pursue his addiction which is 'my space')that draws people in and seems to evoke a sense of peace and quietude. Of course, this is my favourite room. The reason is all of those things you alluded to. Some works evoke times and places, states of being (whether high or low), milestones, acheivements, mine or my kids, because I still house nearly all their books, till they finally find a permanent home for them (they love them too).

But for me (and I think my children also) the most important relationship is the relationship with the idea of freedom and self empowerment that I feel while sharing my home with the ideas and imaginations of countless others that I have the privilege to have partaken. I spent two unhappy decades of my life involved in a religious group (without being too melodramatic dare I say 'cult') who prohibited (often without overt rules) the exploration of the mind and heart through the sharing of ideas. When, like Sleeping Beauty, I finally woke up from a kind of death, my Prince's lips were the ideas and imagination of fellow travelers that restored my soul to life again.

And while the recovery process is now fading quietly into the background of my life, I still brush my hand across those works and the people who touched my life in such a profound way, and feel grateful.

Thanks for letting me share these thoughts.

Alana.

Had a good time looking through the catalog. Liked the blog as well. Every time I look through someone's library I can feel my mental shopping list expanding. Noticed we share "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" (among other things). What did you think of that one?

Happy cataloging.

Enjoyed your essay about your library!

Peace.

Hi!
My husband and I both came from Nashville and many of our relatives still live in the the area.
Have you ever visited Elder's Bookstore on West End?
You have quite a collection of cookbooks. I no longer buy cookbooks, but often check new ones out of our public library and your collection would be wonderful to browse through. Do you have one all time favorite? Mine tend to be older, especially a couple inherited from my grandmother.

I know what you mean about the mary and vincent price cookbook. Thanks for the welcome!

Hi jasfaulkner! Thanks for the admiring comment on our teapot. I like that our library intersection covers both food and physics. And your critter has made me smile; he looks like someone I know.

I like the tarsier!
