For three years, this space had a large post devoted to the concept of Library BookCrossing. But I never got it off the ground, so I'm abandoning the idea. Sigh.

But I exaggerate: at worst it's a bittersweet moment: I discovered that my local library has added Reader Reviews to its catalog! It's an internal journal entry system! I'll be happy to take part in that, as well as "regular" BookCrossing.

Wish List

Please do me the honor of checking my Wish List. These are books I already know well, but love absolutely to death and always want to read again and also always want to have on hand to pass on. If you can, I would love for you to help me circulate these books.

Book Distributor

There are certain books I have made it a mission to distribute. When I find any reasonably-priced copies, I buy them, register them, and turn them over to appropriate people. Some of them I cannot bear to release wild, they are so special to me I need to know they will end up in appreciative hands. I'd love for you to help me by sending me any copies you have available.

Books I distribute:

Dune, by Frank Herbert 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
The Archivist, by Martha Cooley 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Tathea, by Anne Perry 1 2 3 4
Invisible Cities, by Italo Calvino 1 2 3 4
