LibraryLdy

I'd like to meet:

James Taylor , Sam Waterston , and Dr. Lincoln BrowerThe Librarian in the following Video clip is me. I don't look like me because I'm all made up and in costume. But it really is me and I have to deal with men like this EVERY DAY! Sheesh! What's a librarian to do? I mean, REALLY!?!? :-)

Music:

James Taylor, Poco, Pure Prairie League, Loggins and Messina, Doobie Brothers, Simon and Garfunkle, Chicago, BeeGees, Michael Buble - there are too many to list and, I admit, I'm a bit stuck in the 70s - not that I mind!My parents gave me the opportunity to enjoy the oldies as well - I grew up watching Sing Along with Mitch Miller, the Andy Williams Show, and the Carpenters. I still love listening to Andy Williams, Harry Belafonte, Ray Coniff Singers, The Carpenters, Nat King Cole, The New Seekers, etc. The only music I really don't care for is heavy metal and vulgar RAP music. I can do without the obscenities - just don't like to put that karma into my mood. I want music to nourish and uplift me - not bring me down and anger me. I began studying the piano at the age of 5. I decided at 16 to pick up the guitar and had a friend teach me some basic chords. At the age of 49, I began studying the harp and am involved in a group called, Beginning in the Middle. The love of music has definitely enriched my life. I am thankful for parents who felt music was important and who insisted upon daily practice. It's a habit I've never let go.

Movies:

The Scarlet Pimpernel (the one with Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour), Wizard of Oz, A High Wind in Jamaica, Gone With the Wind, Anne of Green Gables, Anne of A Thousand Days, A Man for All Seasons, A Lion in Winter (original version please),To Kill a Mockingbird, The NeverEnding Story, A Tale of Two Cities, any movies put out by Masterpiece Theatre and BBC.I love "period" films, foreign films (mostly french & chinese). My husband claims I like anything with subtitles - it would be nice if he came with subtitles. I like psychological thrillers - no slasher films though. I enjoy crime drama such as Godfather and most recently, The Departed.Among my favorite actors are - Sir Anthony Hopkins, Ben Kingsley, Jeremy Irons, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Anthony Andrews, Gregory Peck, Rex Harrison, Katharine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, Megan Follows, and Jane Seymour.

Television:

House, CSI, Law & Order - the original is the best-Sex and the City, Curb your Enthusiam, The Office, Southpark, Daily Show, Steven Colbert, and Jeopardy.I love HBO - Rome, Big Love, Deadwood, and SopranosI am looking forward to the Showtime series, The Tudors.

Books:

I love books - especially books that have been banned! I am always so curious as to what the fuss is all about. Seriously, though, I really haven't met many books I haven't liked.I think books are here to stay - though there are those who think they are becoming obsolete with all the new technologies. But I can't imagine a world where I couldn't curl up with my pillow and a good book held by my own two hands. I love the feel of a book in my hands - the turning of the pages and the smell of new as well as the old musty treasures on my bookshelves. I suppose my favorite authors are - Pearl Buck, F.Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Austen, Bronte, Roald Dahl, Thomas Hardy, D.H. Lawrence, most of the classics.Past favorites are: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (all-time favorite bildungsroman and I'd take it with me on that elusive desert island.); Little Women; Anne of Green Gables; The Once and Future King; Mysts of Avalon; Gone With the Wind; Jaws; The Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy; just to name a few.New favs are: Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, The Kite Runner, The Secret Life of Bees, Bee Season, and anything by Author Jodi Picoult.
