Alyson!

She is too fond of books, and it has addled her brain.
- Louisa May Alcott

I am a fanatic about reading and will do so whenever I get a chance...even if it is the back of a package while grocery shopping. As a teacher by trade, I have a tendency to shove reading and a love of it down everyone's throats.

    Nice to meet you. Hope I'll read as many books as you have read. I'll take another look on your shelf when I have time. I have seen many interesting titles there.
    Happy reading

    What is "hypnerotomachia poliphili":)? I added The Rule of Four to my Plan To Read list just to find out what this means.

    Hi Alyson, Used to teach World History and World Geography before I became a Media Specialist (librarian). Haven't finished looking at your shelf but we have over 300 books in common. I guess we read different editions of Anne Frank because it doesn't show that I've read it on your shelf. Visited her hiding place in August 1994. Was with a group of US teachers and Danish teachers on a 17 day tour of Holocaust sites sponsored by the US Holocaust Museum. While we were there one of the lecturers came in and announced that it was 50 years ago to the minute that the family was arrested by the Gestapo. Gave me goose bumps to say the least. Judy

    hi alyson! this is roshini...noticed that i've got the most books in common with you, so thought i'd buzz! :) and i also belong to that distinguished class of those who judge books by their covers ;) i'm taking my interest in world history forward, so was wondering if you could recommend some good non-fiction books in that genre?
