Om mig I live in Jackson, MS where I read Walt Whitman.
Om mit bibliotek While many of my books are non-fiction philosophy books, I love books whose characters don't just read philosophy, they're moved by ideas For better or for worse.
Philosophy: Mostly continental/existentialism. They rescue philsophy from the sterile laboratory or analytic thought and make it as real as your flesh and blood. As it must be.
Politics & Government: I care far more about personal freedom, but I can't ignore that I live among others. I have to know what kinds of ideas will help protect my freedom from those who would take it intentionally or simply by the common rush toward the Crowd. My books reflect that I care about political principles of individualism. Not conservatism, not liberalism, but individualism.
Scholastic Books: You'll find rows and rows of Scholastic books for kids, circa 1960. I love their didactic yet adventuresome approach to some conflict. And I'm pretty sentimental about boys haunted by harmonica-playing ghosts or who grow wings over the summer.
Gay & Lesbian History: When I was a teenager, I didn't own any books about being gay—which is why I stole every book in my high school library that had anything to do with homosexuality. All two of them. My current library has many books about LGBT history, mainly the personal and political work for greater freedom—personal and political.
I've followed circuitous paths, sometimes losing, sometimes meeting friends. My books have always been beside me.

Happy cataloging to you.

You could be right about the Romantic’s fear; or, with the ‘pumpkin’ group, perhaps no one wants to be crowded on (in) the pumpkin... I would join your Whitman group, but honestly, save for the odd poem here and there, I cannot say I’ve read much Whitman.
Oh, and I should say that my name is Ryan; I was feeling a bit impish one day while editing my profile and felt compelled to pay homage to the fact that the Dickens character my user name is based off--The Artful Dodger--real name in Oliver Twist is Jack Dawkins. That’s just me, I love a good obscure reference...
