    <about><![CDATA[Random thoughts:<br/>Amazing how much one's book list tells about him/her.<br/>Soon everyone in Goodreads will be friends with everyone else here. Hey, don't friends talk with friends?  GET EMAILING!<br/>Am amused at the photos many people post here.  The photos are how they want us to see them, see their characters and personalities.<br/><br/>Latest update: I've decided to become an expert in American History, with emphasis on the French and Indian War.  Stay tuned for additional books on the subject.]]></about>
