Something for the librarian in all of us... Bestseller Lists from the 1900s to the 1990s. I still need to look through all of them to make a new list of books to read!

I wonder how many things you'll find to read. How many best sellers do you like now? I noticed half a dozen Daphne duMaurier novels (1930s-50s), but does one need to read anything other than Rebecca?

The historian in me (stop giggling), is fascinated by the non-fiction lists: cookbooks! Bibles! Self-help! No wonder Kon-Tiki floods Friends of RPL booksales: everyone felt like they should read it.

Thanks for a good link.

the title of this blog is in imitation of a friend and former camp counselor's clipboard. she called it her brain. so this is mine. i imagine that it will turn out to be mostly a collection of ramblings and interesting finds, most likely read only by the author herself.

Me, at the moment...

How am I feeling?

What am I reading?

Right this red hot moment: Working my way back through the HP series, now that I know how it all works out.
Recently finished: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Before that: I don't even remember.

Music? All sorts.

In my free time? Mostly, studying up on my STN command-line searching skills.

Last movie I saw? Rented: Watched Batman Begins again last night at home. In a theatre: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! At the IMAX! Before that: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! In the regular theater!

How's the weather where I am?

Blogs of people I know:

Caligulawyer

Capital City Desk

Quest for Coffee, by my buddy Daryn.
