This is what I'm working my way through at the moment! A couple of Christmas gifts, books that I've been meaning to read for a while that I haven't gotten round to, and some hand-me-downs... Keeping me occupied at lunch-time and during my commute!

Airedale Attacks! I've read all the library books here. Room was a well deserving prize winner with a non-annoying/non-precocious/non-HaleyJoelOsment kid as the main character, which is doubly impressive. At the moment I'm actually still edging my way along Proust Volume 5, Part II: The Fugitive (no one armed men involved sorry) and I have yet more library books winging their way. I would make a juggling metaphor here but Haley stole my ball!
The 4th floor also holds our book stacks which contains over 18,000 titles. The monograph collection includes a matchless assortment of “primary” printed works of historical importance, including physical science monographs, textbooks, laboratory manuals, instrument catalogs, and published correspondence, two-thirds of which dates between the years 1850-1950. For more information about our holdings search our book catalog here!

By the end of 2013, the new Point Roberts library building fund has raised more than $300,000. In 2014, we will be looking for two or three big government or foundation grants for the rest of what we need. The fundraising progress justified adding three new books to the stack (lower right), so there are now eight books.
More information is at foprl.org.
Another update (March 2015): We are now up to $437,000 and ten books in the stack.
The books in the Library are arranged by the Library of Congress call number system (a good explanation on another library's web site). If you're wondering if the LIbrary has a book check our catalogue.
The British Museum Reading Room, located at the heart of the Great Court, was designed by Sydney Smirke and opened in 1857 to house the growing library of the British Museum. Constructed of cast iron, concrete, and a papier-mâché dome inspired by the Pantheon, the room’s circular design accommodated thousands of books and readers, with surrounding iron bookstacks and forty kilometers of shelving. It served as the principal reading room of the British Library until the collection relocated to St Pancras in 1997. After restoration, the Reading Room reopened in 2000 for general visitors, later hosting major exhibitions from 2007 to 2013 before closing for archival use until reopening in 2023.
The British Museum, located in Bloomsbury, London, was established in 1753 and opened in 1759 as the world’s first national public museum. Originally housed in Montagu House, it now occupies a grand neoclassical building designed by Sir Robert Smirke, constructed between 1823 and 1852 on the same site. The museum’s encyclopedic collection of over eight million objects spans over two million years of human history, with major highlights including the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon, and the Sutton Hoo treasures--many of which remain the subject of ongoing repatriation discussions.
Mostly books that I have very recently purchased, I'll hopefully get at least half of these read before the end of the year. My last bookstack (ten months ago) is mostly unread; I think I finished five of those books.
First In - Gary Schroen
The Teapot Dome Scandal - Laton McCartney
King, Kaiser, Tsar - Catrine Clay
Blood and Thunder - Hampton Sides
The War Within - Bob Woodward
John Paul Jones - Evan Thomas
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee - Dee Brown
Guests of the Ayatollah - Mark Bowden
Team of Rivals - Doris Kearns Goodwin
See No Evil - Robert Baer
"May the best differently-abled bald mutant in a wheelchair win!"
"You can't tell, Charles, but I'm flipping you off."
Jean-Paul Satre - The Reprieve
H.D. - Trilogy (The Walls Do Not Fall, Tribute To The Angels, The Flowering Of The Rod)
John Lewis Gaddis - The Cold War
Rob Eastaway - What Is A Googly?
Quick Fix German Grammer
The Rough Guide To Switzerland
C.G. Jung - Jung On The East
Satre - I got started on The Age Of Reason and had to just go for it & get the whole trilogy read. I'm almost done with this one, hurrah. It's sooo flipping good as well.
I always have H.D. near, I can't get enough of this book.
Just started on The Cold War book, and it's proving really interesting and accessible so far. I bought this for my dad for his birthday, and now he's done with it I get a shot. ;)
What Is A Googly - this has not left my coffee table since the Cricket World Cup began. It's a brilliant little reference book, and pretty amusing.
Eek, I need to delve into my German Grammer book sometime soon, I've neglected it of late.
Heh, I'm still planning my Swiss holiday.
Jung - have just started on this, and is proving really interesting so far (but I'm only a few pages in.. so I can't say much more than that. lol).
Okay, so i don't have a whole lot of time for reading what with the big clean out going on, but sometimes i'll steal a few minutes in the bathtub or during lunch.
Here's what they're about if you wanted to know:
Chicken Soup for the Brides Soul:
Cute little stories about weddings, only takes a minute to read one but they're so tear jerking and addictive...
This Book Will Change Your Life:
That's some funny stuff. It give you an activity to do every day. Like draw a fake tattoo, or write to a serial killer (it even gives their addresses). Some of the stuff is a little outrageous, some i wouldn't have the guts to do (like leave it in a park with a note to mail it back to me), some are funny. The art is terrific. A definite recommend.
Kick the Clutter:
It really is helping to encourage me to get rid of. One thing i like about this book is that it's written by a pack rat, so she understands it's hard to let go. Also, she encourages people to recycle and donate instead of throwing away. It goes room by room and give wonderful ideas.
Dead and Gone:
Trashy vampire book series that i only started reading b/c it was gonna make my friend Kate happy and she forced all the books into my hands. Turns out they are very addictive!
Going Bridal:
Wedding planning, haven't read it yet
The Everything Wedding Book:
Wedding planning, i haven't read it yet.
Trash Origami:
Making origami out of trash, for T's homeschooling. Haven't read it yet, either.
Why is that i've read the ones i own + the trashy vampire book, but not the other library books??? Katety... (Say that with a chastising tone.)
