Hello, I like to read science fiction (hard) and fantasy books, (any) also some historical fiction. My favorite character next to Samwise is Miles Vorkosigan in his Admiral Naismith persona. I think this is a great idea for a web site and I love the concept. I think my favorite book of all time is the LOTR series. I remember reading it at my sister's in Vallejo, CA during the 70's and how I loved it. Enough to read it about 10 times. Books marked with a PC in the journal entries or book details are ones I can't give up yet.

I live in Wyoming on a small acreage (6.6) with 2 cats, 1 horse and a Rat Terrier named Jack. Jack has gone ahead due to stroke. We just got him from our local humane society not that long ago. Our other dog, Reo was given the last act of kindness in March of this year due to the complications of kidney disease from eating those damned chicken jerky treats.
The mare I am on is Skeeter, my Appy mare that died at age 30. I miss her still. We all get on really well except for our female cat Baggy, who likes to beat up on Oliver and Samwise. They all try to get out of her way when she is in the immediate vicinity. Our Samwise was also put to sleep in October due to the complications from feline diabetes and Baggy went not to long after due to kidney issues, both were in their teens . I miss them both terribly. I have a new kitten, Roxy, that I found at work. She is a tortie with the typical 'tude that they have. Seems to be a color thing. Oliver was diagnosed with cancer last week. He is still eating quite well so I will hope he lasts a good while longer.
Dear old Ollie received the last act of kindness. His cancer was worse and he was sneezing blood and it wouldn't stop. He went quickly and I know have his little tin of ashes on my end table which will be scattered soon near his favorite spot. I miss him. Roxy doesn't seem to though. I think she likes being only cat. She's not the only cat anymore, I got an all black male kitten from our local kill shelter and he's a bit of a naughty boy. He's 6 months, so terrible 2's for him and has been attacking Roxy, who is not at all happy about that! Hopefully, when all the testostrone is out of his system and he grows up a bit he'll settle down. His name is Ninja.
I like to watch the sci-fi shows on television-Stargate SG-1,(which has been canceled!) Star Trek TNG reruns, Babylon5, Stargate Atlantis, Firefly and Farscape (hooray for Netfix, they have them all on dvd).The HBO series From the Earth to the Moon was great too. My favorite TV show right now is The Big Bang Theory. It cracks me up.

I had a couple of books caught and journaled by anonymous finders! What a good feeling that is! One that was caught in Glenrock joined bookcrossing! Got a book journaled after 2 years!

If anyone sees anything they like on my shelf, please PM me I'll try and send the book on.

Well, I usually don't know what I really want to read until I'm in a bookstore looking at books. I did find a few I would like to read though:
