Hi Kathi,
I saw your post in a group about Spirituality. When I saw your name it gave me a start being the same as mine. Just wanted to say hello to another Kathi. Looks like we only have one book in common.

Thanks for visiting my library and for marking it as "interesting." I am returning the favor by looking more closely at your library now over the next several days.

Thank you for your invitation to join the Detroit Nonfiction group. I'll stop by for a visit when I get a chance!

thanks for adding me to your interesting library list. In doing so, you inadvertently introduced me to the 75 book challenge group. I'll be moving my thread over from the 50 book one, since I opted to shoot higher this year. So thank you for that, too!

I'd peek at your library but the site is going down for technical stuff in about 2 minutes, so catch you later!

Pleased to meet you and flattered that you find my library interesting.

kathi - you were my SecretSantathing person and I so want to thank you for the beautiful Creative Embellishments book. I can hardly stand it - I have two Early Reviewer books I supposed to be reading and now I want to read this one too. Darn. I'll sneak it in between the other two and I'll let you know if I try any of the projects. There are some really interesting ideas, and beautiful, too. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

Hi Kathi, Thanks for adding me to your interesting library list. I didn't know what that was until someone told me. I see we share 184 books. As soon as I figure out how to add you to my interesting library, I'll do it. In case you haven't guess it, I am to computers as Shakespeare is to welders.

Hi Kathi,

So sorry it took me so long to respond to your post...I don't look at my profile page often, and didn't see it until today.

It's so interesting that you lived on Garland, and that your grandparents did too! Wow! My own interest stems from the fact that my own grandfather was also a doctor, around the same age as Ossian Sweet, and he and my grandmother bought their first home on Audubon in Detroit right around the same time as the Sweets. What was so poignant to me, however, was how different my grandfather's life was compared with Dr. Sweet's, simply because of the color of his skin. As I was reading about the life of Dr. Sweet and his family, it was hard not to compare what was happening at approximately the same time to my grandfather and his family - the unfairness came through for me on every page.

Aside from my personal interest, I thought the story was incredible. I couldn't believe that the Ku Klux Klan was ever a part of Detroit, and that it existed during the lifetime of my family members. It was such a great history lesson for me.

Thanks again for writing -- let's hope we meet again in some other great book!

Dear Kathi;

Oh, okay. This is what I try to do:
I organize my book by the first 2-3 letters of the Library of Congress system. To do so I have downloaded the LoC classification system outline.

My tags for a book are created, in order by the following steps:
1. the major LoC catagory name, then sub catagory, and then third catagory.
2. the catalog subjects printed in the book
3. more subjects from going down the table of contents of the book
4. for fiction: then I make tags on the books setting (location), issues and topics.
5. other key words I need or want (cause I know that is what I will look for it with).
6. anything else.

Thank you for adding me to your libraries of interest. It it is Michigan books you are after use tag "*MI" to subset those books.

Hello,
I see that you have added me to your ' Interesting Libraries' list. Many thanks for your interest.I see by the way that we share 415 books overall.That can't be bad either.
All the best.

Hi Kathi,

The Detroit books are from living in Ann Arbor for 8 years. The public library book sale there was responsible for the vast majority of our stuff. We've got quite a bit more on Michigan history I haven't gotten cataloged yet. We grew to like Detroit quite a bit and explored it a lot. Nice to meet another former Michigander!

Well, I'm 48, and I hope I never grow up either.
I must have missed those socks. I'll have to go back and look.

I am not singing in a group at the moment. I sang in the Orange County Classic Choral Society when I lived in Montgomery, New York a couple of years ago, but had to give it up. We got a place in Florida, and go there in early December, and come back in may, so the concert season is messed up. Also, the rehearsals are at night, and we have given up driving at night due to Cataracts that haven't been operated on yet. Aging is yucky and the voice is the first to go. I do still like to follow scores when I listen. Regards, Miriam

Thanks for finding my library interesting. What were the books that you were interested in? I peeked at your Bach collection of vocal scores. WOW! I'm green. Now that I have all of them on CD from the Daedalus box, i would love to have the scores. Where did you find them? Did it cost a fortune? Are you an oratorio singer or just an aficionado?

Hi!

I wanted to thank you for your comment on my profile - I added the pictures you asked about (the cats).

Dear Kathi,
Petru Dumitriu escaped to France or Germany from Romania about 1964 or 5, I forget some of the details. He had been famous for novels he wrote before his defection and I have read one or two of them but they're the most awuful tripe because he had to toe the party line. Of course that's why he escaped, I suppose. Incognito is about a man who's part of an aristocratic family and takes place pretty much between the First and Second World Wars and Romania's absorption into the Soviet Bloc. The main character, Sebastian, is not a favored son of his powerful and well-connected family. He's a soldier in the first war and is swept up in the communist fervor as were so many idealistic and/or disillusioned young people. It is his experience, growth and conflicts that make the book so compelling. The author himself was an enigmatic person. He died three years or so ago. The book's very well written. Although I don't know you, I can't imagine anyone being disappointed by this book, though there are parts of it that are dismaying. I'd love to hear back what you think of it. Thanks for writing,
Dene

Kathi--

No, I haven't heard of CYBERGRACE but it's worth looking for. Your collection is intriguing. I'm a liberal Old Catholic and a computer guy, which is good, because Old Catholics are too few and far between to amount to much (or even know of one another's existence ) without computers. One good rec deserves another: I powerfully recommend The Inescapable Love of God by Thomas Talbott. Good luck and thanks for writing.

Kathi, I love all the books you have and the best part of this is seeing all the books I would like to read and now can get them. I do not want to miss one. You have a great collection and some I want to read myself and will eventually get to. I have not gotten all my books on here but will be working on it. This is such a cool place and thank you for telling me about it. We can have some good chats about this and our books. I am glad you found me here. Marge

kathi, thanks for the email and, yes, my wife is an RN, certified in oncology for many years. Her BSN was from Davenport and I am a pharmacist. We both have worked a few, and in my case, several hospitals in the Detroit area, she and I mostly at Sinai, now buldozed and turned into a detroit high school. I am still finding books in boxes and I haven't even begun to organize my wife's cookbooks and art books. Let us know if anyone is in detroit you would like us to contact for you.

kathi, I can only imagine why someone would have a book about Wayne State who lives outside of Michigan. I graduated from WSU in 1976 and came across this book at a garage sale this past summer. It brought back many old memories. Hope your copy is in as good a shape as mine.

Hi Kathi! I just catalogued a new book I got for Christmas, Courage After Fire, and saw you are the only other person on LT who has it so thought I would drop you a hello. I am guessing that you also have experienced a deployment since you have that book. My husband is currently in Iraq. If you do have someone deployed, I wish them a safe and speedy return home again. Merry Christmas!
