you have some great books.  8)

Thanks.   8)  Unfortunately, I may have to do some "culling" of the collection to make room for the new books.  On the plus side, I have a few that are  too earth science general or repeat things I have in other books, but, not as well.  I'm getting into the area of picking Quality over quantity in my collection.  The local library gets the castoffs.

"Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss.

A book which is based on today's standards of punctuation in English.

Another book about "SuperVolcanoes" except this one is specifically about Yellowstone Park and the last one was about the Toba Supervolcano in Indonesia 75,000 years ago.  Good stuff to add to my collection and feed my voracious appetite for knowledge about volcanoes.  <BLISS> :green:

I get a Volcano calendar every year and I save them in case I want to use the pictures to either decorate or use as a reference.   8)  It's a childhood obssession thats never gone away!!   ;D
And I was born in an area that hasn't seen vulcanism for 150 million years +/- a few millenia.   :laugh:

One of the books he wrote while still alive, right? :P ;)

I THINK so. He mentions that he won't be able
to keep churning them out, since he'd eventually
die. Little did he know.

"First Love, Last Rites" by Ian McEwan, and a very cool PhD thesis.
