Om mig I am originally from Killeen, Texas, and earned both a Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in history from Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. I have just begun work on my Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Arlington. I am now A.B.D.

Om mit bibliotek "'What shall I do with all my books?' was the question; and the answer, 'Read them,' sobered the questioner. But if you cannot read them, at any rate handle them and, as it were, fondle them. Peer into them. Let them fall open where they will. Read on from the first sentence that arrests the eye. Then turn to another. Make a voyage of discovery, taking soundings of uncharted seas. Set them back on their shelves with your own hands. Arrange them on your own plan, so that if you do not know what is in them, you at least know where they are. If they cannot be your friends, let them at any rate be your acquaintances. If they cannot enter the circle of your life, do not deny them at least a nod of recognition." — Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill

I started buying books for myself in high school (and, according to my father, I began stealing books from him at about the same time). Since then my collection has probably doubled each year until the past two or three. I probaly add ten to twenty (oh my!) books a month when you average it out over a year. Since I am a history major, most of my collection centers on history, although my interests are multifaceted. I have added cursory reviews to books I have read or reference works I have used before I opened this account. I will be adding more substantial new reviews to books as I read.

As of January 2008 I have decided to add my music collection to LibraryThing. There is no good equivalent of LibraryThing for CDs and until there is (or until LibraryThing does it), my CDs will reside here. Like the books, if they have a WorldCat page I am putting the OCLC number where the editor asks for "LC classification." This aids look-ups on WorldCat if needed.
