LA County Public Library

Angela Marie Carpenter of Los Angeles has mistakenly given my gmail address instead of her own to the Los Angeles County Public Library.  

In July, she started with some pirate history:

 1  call number:972.904                                   ID:0111960655004
    Empire of blue water : Captain Morgan's great pirate army, the epic
    battle for the Americas, and the Catastrophe that ended the outlaws'
    bloody reign / Stephan Talty.
    Talty, Stephan.
    due:7/17/2009,23:59


Then apparently there was a self-improvement kick:

 1   The smart approach to window decor / Lynn Elliot and Lisa Lent.
     Elliott, Lynn.
     call number:747.3 ELLIOTT                               copy:1
       Pickup by:7/22/2009

 1   Getting things done : the art of stress-free productivity / David Allen.
     Allen, David, 1945 Dec. 28-
     call number:646.7                                       copy:1
       Pickup by:7/24/2009

I think this one was picked up at the same time:

 1  call number:539.7258                                  ID:0111681464504
    The elegant universe : superstrings, hidden dimensions, and the quest for
    the ultimate theory / Brian Greene.
    Greene, B. (Brian), 1963-
    due:8/6/2009,23:59


Maybe she does windows for a living, because here is yet another window-decoration book:

 1   Beautiful windows : the ultimate window treatment design book / Woman's
     Day Special Interest Publications.
     call number:747.5                                       copy:1
       Pickup by:8/6/2009

And these were the most recent:

 1  call number:818.5402                                  ID:0111614507585
    Dave Barry turns 40.
    Barry, Dave.
    due:9/15/2009,23:59

 2  call number:92 V9489                                  ID:0111633308924
    Fates worse than death : an autobiographical collage of the 1980s / Kurt
    Vonnegut.
    Vonnegut, Kurt.
    due:9/15/2009,23:59

The Dave Barry choice surprised me, but what do I know about my name buddy (or my homo, as the French say)?  Nothing much, except the window thing.  I will say that it has been fun to watch someone else's reading habits.

On a similar story I have Arthur Douglas with an e-mail address not too far off from my ISP e-mail address. I've discovered that Arthur wants to get into real estate and is trying to buy properties and flip them. I also know what church he attends. :)
