- About My Library
I'm mostly through cataloguing my downstairs library at this point, but occasionally a book pops up that I missed. Almost everything I own is old, was bought used or with a bookstore employee discount or through our Native American offering of Penguin remainders.

I'm a retired high school English and Latin teacher enjoying a seventeenth (I can't believe it!) year of reading. Unfortunately, I can't read just one book at a time, so it's a day for rejoicing when I actually finish something. Otherwise, I'm adjusting to being at home after years of caring for my mother, walking twice a day with husband, petting said husband and cats, and eventually, maybe becoming a practicing pianist once more.
