- Favorite Books, Authors, Writers:
- Perhaps how much one reads is as important as what one reads, although one would not want to press this point too much. Given the fact that we all have different tastes, perhaps the essential question or comment under ”Favorite Books" is not “which books one has read” but “how much” and “when.” I offer this as a tangential remark for this part of the site.
It is impossible for me to make an accurate record or even a reasonable guesstimation of what might be called my reading record since 1957/8, some 50 years, from puberty to these early years of late adulthood, age 13/4 to 63/4. I have made a start at such a record, though. For the most part, my reading is in the social sciences and humanities—a vast field to say the least and too extensive to even provide a cursory list of my favorite books here.

Pioneering Over Four Epochs
My literary activity on the world-wide-web is a personal and quite industrious enterprize. When I can find the time, I am engaged in creating across this global internet a tapestry of poetry and prose. At this site, readers will find one of my many journals, diaries, blogs or posts of site particpation. These various terms and posts are used by internet sites to help writers engage with others. The series of posts at this site is one of the many parts of my tapestry of prose and poetry I refer to above.
This literary creation, this literary industry, has been created in the early evening of my life, in the last years of my middle age(56-59) and the first years of my late adulthood(60-64), by a retired teacher and lecturer who is now 64. He attempts to endow many a theme from the social sciences and humanities, from spiritual and secular subjects, with many layers of meaning. He tries to combine a high seriousness with a light and humorous style when appropriate. This literary goal is difficult to achieve and has been a slowly evolving ambition since settling into Australian society in the 1970s after moving from Canada where I was born in 1944.

MY TAPESTRY OF INTERNET WRITING

I wasn't really asking you to post less of your stuff, but just requesting that you not exsist in such a bubble. If you post something let us know why (especially since I see you post the same piece in many places, that is often the mark of a spammer, which I know you are not, but I can't figure out what you're looking for.)
Thanks for always being responsive.
Monica

Just wanted to stop in and say hi and also let you know that my "Back to School" sales promotions for authors and publishers are ending soon.
If interested in cover design or book illustration at less than publisher's normally discounted pricing and want to reserve your spot in the short amount of time left in 2008 (and my calendar is filling fast) visit my site or call me:
