Bookrings/rays I am a member of:
Life of Pi by Yann Martel

What I read:
The Modern Library, in 1998, created a list of the 100 Best Novels published (in the English language). HERE is a link to it.

As of today, I've read 17 from this list, with one more in progress. My goal is to get to 25 by next July. And then...? (I do read other stuff, too)

The Radcliffe Publishing Course published its own list. Go HERE to see it.

I've read 27 of these.

About my name:
I have hung out in Yahoo! chat rooms for a long time, now, and I like to come up with unusual names. One day the name LabSpecimen popped into my head and I liked it. I'm a computer programmer, so there is no real-world connection between my alias and me.

Trading
I do sometimes trade, but I prefer to ship only within the US and Canada.
