Sobre mimAnthropologist and Librarian
Sobre a minha bibliotecaMy collection here is a combination of books owned (thus tagged) and books I've read recently enough to remember (borrowed from various non-virtual libraries). Those tagged "L" belong to my spouse's collection, which is much larger than mine. Of those owned by my spouse, I have included only those that I have read or would have owned if they weren't readily available through the convenience of matrimony.
The star rating system is too linear for me - who's to tell in what context or for whom a book might be wonderful or otherwise? - but I have tagged a small number "made a difference." These books may not be the ones I currently or ever loved, but they were at a time or at times in my life significant for various reasons. Perhaps, as with ratings, this tag tells more about me than about the books; so be it.
Feel free to let me know if there is something I should clean up in my catalog data.
I'm sorry that I have been absent from LT for many months. Eventually I will have to catch up. But probably not soon.

Thanks for your kind words on my posts. I've written a few times on the glory of the food-and-drink environs in Japan; it's so very pleasant.
My reading in recent years had diminished greatly but with the acquisition of a fabulous reading chair I'm managing now to put away 3 or 4 a month. Whether a book is appealing or not, It's a glorious feeling to see the "to do" pile diminish even just little. It's been so long since I read any fiction that wasn't Japanese in translation, I hardly now where to go for any other writers. Just as well.

I noticed - in the BBC's Opera group - that you were interested in access to opera on-line, but that the time-zone thing was a bit frustrating.
Thought you might be intersted to know about a volunteer-run FM radio station in Sydney which broadcasts an opera every Wednesday evening at 8pm Sydney time. It would be about 6pm in Japan I think, which might be awkward for you. Tomorrow's opera is Verdi's Luisa Miller:
Luisa - Katia Ricciarelli (sop)
Miller - Renato Bruson (bar)
Count Walter - Gwynne Howell (bass)
Rodolfo - Placido Domingo (ten [as if you didn't know!])
Wurm - Wladimiro Ganzarolli (bass)
Royal Opera House choir and Orch/Lorin Maazel

I saw your comment on the tea group so I came and had a look at your profile. I see we only share 8 books, but they are books which I think to be a more accurate sample reflecting my interests than the Harry Potter, Narnia and similar books which are peripheral to my library but which I share with almost everyone.
Evans-Pritchard is a classic. I had the privilege of living amongst the Nuer people 40 years later, and much of his description of day to day life was as true in the early 1980s as it was in the 1940s. Sadly war has changed much of that now. Where there is no doctor is a different type of classic - my copy is well-thumbed with use.
Cheers!

Personally, I let yourself have the biscuit with tea. You among many, including myself, who have simply shelves and shelves (or is that rooms and rooms) yet to catalog.
And that "flip through" is really dangerously wonderful, isn't it? I found myself thinking about a book I may have read so long ago and how life has changed since then, or remembering why I found a certain book that I still may not have read...and so on. It does slow down the process.
