I live on the edge of the Midwest and work in one of America's vanishing industries. I am an old school union activist, biker, music lover, and of course, I love books. I have four kids, only one who reads, and a wife who reads more than anyone I know. When I was a kid I used to read a lot of science fiction or fantasy. But then in high school I read A Farewell To Arms and realized there was a lot more to be found in books. I joined Shelfari to find more books and maybe talk about them. In my circle of friends it's Louis L'Amour, Zane Grey, or the sports page. So if you have any suggestions that aren't any of these three things and they look like they might fit on my shelf, feel free to make a suggestion. « less
