| We love books and we have interesting Books of all kinds to share with You... |
Hi, we're new kids on the block, JoeDKate, and we just signed up here today, September 12, 1999: we picked FortuneCity for the friendly folks, terrific sites, and for the peaceability of the place. We're hoping that this place lives up to its name and brings us some more of that good luck that we've had since we met!! We'd like our neighbors to know they're welcome to stop by and join us anytime they're free; we're looking forward to getting to know some other folks around here. Just to give you a general idea in case you want to throw us a housewarming party (smile, wink-wink, nudge-nudge): JoeDKate is a happily married couple who met and married due to their avid interest in Literature and book collecting. We still share this interest together, although as anyone married knows, we now share far more than just this...We live in New York State, USA (a great place to live and to read great books!)... | |||||||||||||||||||

We shall be moving in our belongings sometime in the near future as time permits. We hope you like it here at our "first home" site. Someday you'll be able to view a list of interesting books from a variety of interesting subjects and author folks. We are really excited to be sharing our books with you. Our list will contain descriptions and pertinent information about these books: Since we like to have Fun collecting on our somewhat Limited budget, we can't help but be proud of the range of topics the books include. All our books have one thing in common, they're either interesting or about something or someone interesting, or else the author is famous, infamous, eccentric or just plain wonderful in a special sort of way. After browsing here , you'll catch the spirit of what we're trying to do...we don't just list a book because someone else thinks it's worthwhile or "collectible," Books on our list must pass an aruduous inspection: they have to meet our standards of approval; our system is democratic yet demanding, a book here is certainly worth a perusal not merely a gander or a sneeze from its dust. We're glad to feature an eclectic selection of books which show our various hobbies, interests and, of course, both of our favorite authors (these are not just trendy books or highbrow books or books with pretty jackets and fancy covers (although if they're well-written they're included here rent-free also) you won't have to pay expensive prices or souped up s/h fees either. You're gonna find some great out of print books, some later editions of great books and some current and older first editions, but mostly you're gonna get bargains on some great reads, some great reading editions, some collectible firsts and exposure to just-plain good and Great writers from around the World...m/ | We'll be moving in Soon, so don't forget we're new to your town if our pad looks a tad empty! | |||||||||||||||||||

When we're not duly consumed by our mutual passions reading and book collecting, we're usually outdoors (Not the Typical Book Lovers); we're off to one of our favorite parks, hiking or sailing somewhere special to us. There's more? Yeah, If we're not perambulating on scenic outdoor repites or at our respective jobs making money to spend on books, then it's off to visit with family/friends; recently the old bookworm society cited us for the following errors of our ways: we've been found climbing-the roof, up-a-tree (rescuing our favorite feline) or digging our selves deeper into a hole (butterfly bushes do indeed attract butterflies); we've usually among the last people found leaving museums, book shops, galleries, marine aquariums and planetariums, botanical gardens and outdoor musical concerts, etc...We're not saying we're proud of this, or of the fact that we've been ushered out of movie theaters several times in the past 7 years(that is the precise number of rare occasions we've actually been to see a current movie), since we insist upon staying to the bitter end (after all who'd want to miss the location or music credits?; in our favor regarding this trend, is that we've often entertained our family and friends by recounting movie trailers to them, which they inevitably missed by leaving immediately when the house lights go up. Due to our hectic work and grad. school schedules, we've focused most of our annual vacations on the wonderful New England region...we have several favorite literary and other haunts, including a favorite romantic retreat in Rockport, Massachusetts (our honeymoon place) which is a cliffside cottage atop the crashing surf of the Atlantic Ocean... On that note, we guess you might say this has gone on for too long but we're proof that even though Men are from Mars and Women from Venus, those two planets can share some great inter and intraplanatery commerce (yeah, they're lots of ways to say that-tee hee-but this is a hip, scholarly kind of place, ok? Thanks :):)... So please stop by, read a favorite quote from your favorite author, listen to our ramblings, musings, and please share your kind thoughts and ideas with us about our site...WE apologize that this introduction sounds amazingly self-centered, we're more interested in You acutally, and this web-site is so new to us...Anyway tell us about yourselves, your hometowns, about what makes your place special to you! So long for now - have a great read or [email protected] and/or [email protected] And Now- Stayed tuned for some location credits...Why not check out the link below to get your own 20MB of free webspace? | |||||||||||||||||||
