A public chance to thank my Mum for reading to me when I was a kid. And to record my very deep gratitude and indebtedness to a free education system and to public library systems in several countries, and to my many bibliophile teachers.

Countless authors and (new and secondhand) bookshops have also provided nourishing pages for this bookworm to savour. And now, along comes Bookcrossing.com to add a new dimension to the ineffable pleasure and benefit of READING.

Thanks for your visit, fellow reader. I hope some of my selections will interest you too.
