    <about><![CDATA[I read all the time, keep track of titles sometimes forgetting what the books are about unless I start to read them again, or someone starts the discussion. I get something out of almost every book I read, but hate to read poorly written books.The books I have listed here were all read after May of 2005, after I retired and decided to keep track of my reading. I started to read the new books at the library, starting with A. A year later, I decided to add the last book in the new books section, just for variety! Ha! I also read whatever strikes me and a lot of non-fiction.]]></about>
