Meet-up - Thursday 21st June 2012 The Layer Fox Pub, Layer de la Haye 7pm



I am a member of the 1001-library and have the following books available on behalf of the library:-
Enduring Love by Ian McEwan
Wild Swans by Jung Chang

The name 'Ardachy' comes from the name of the Bed and Breakfast my wife and I ran on the Black Isle in Highland Scotland at the time I discovered BookCrossing.

Thanks to swan-scot. who was instrumental in my discovering bookcrossing as explained here. I enjoy walking and cycling so I release books to picnic tables and benches on local walks and rides. I am happy to consider trading books where the status set by me is 'Available' or 'To be read' although you may have to wait a little longer for one of the latter.

The figure for wild releases is accurate as I did standard journal entries for books passed directly to anyone prior to the introduction of controlled release stats.

You can find out more about us on our own web site where you will also find the blog I did for some of our time in the Scottish Highlands 'Sunshine over the Black Isle'.

You're I, Robot!

by Isaac Asimov

While you have established a code of conduct for many generations to
follow, your demeanor is rather cold and calculating. Brought up to serve humans, you
have promised never to harm them, to follow orders, and to protect yourself. Living up
to this code has proved challenging and sometimes even drives you mad. If you were a
type of paper, you would be pulp.
