I know that sounds like heresy, but it's actually quite hard to shlep around 800+ books from apartment to apartment if you move every 2-3 years.
This time around, a lot of the old Pride and Prejudice sequels Read more of this blog post »

| This is a pretty good book if you want pictures of the Potala. The text is written in Tibetan by the Chinese administration so it notably skips over mentioning some historical figures, has weird spellings of names, and has a poor English translation, ...more | |

| I think this might be the best book specifically covering the golden age of mountain climbing, ending with 1953, with the first confirmed summit of Everest and a famous disaster on K2. | |

Have a beautiful 1st day of Summer, tomorrow.
Just checked, and all of your hardcopy books, have been withdrawn from the library system, where I've worked for 30+ years, but we do have some e-books. Oh, well...I'll check the used bookstores.
Thank you for friending me. I've been skimming thru your books, that I've checked out from the public library--where I work-- for years. Pride and Prejudice-- and the movies made from it-- has been one of my favorite stories, for years. I plan to start reading your books during the summer. Have a great day.
