Welcome to my bookshelf. I'm a book lover from way back, and I've always believed in recycling, so BookCrossing is a perfect fit for me. Besides, you meet the nicest people here.

I read a lot of "literary" fiction, but my tastes are pretty eclectic, ranging from Jane Austen to Bill Bryson. The books on this shelf do not necessarily reflect my tastes; many of them were acquired for release from freecycle.org. I'm working on wild releasing all of them, but it will take time. In the meanwhile, I'm open to the idea of trades or RABCKs if you see anything that catches your fancy.

In general, I'm happy to send available books anywhere as long as the request is polite. (I'm likely to use surface mail, though, so non-U.S. BookCrossers may face a wait.) I especially appreciate it if the books keep circulating, so I hope those who request them will consider releasing or trading them when they've finished with them.
