" Imagine all the people
Reading lots of books....." My profile photo was taken May 2006 at Strawberry Fields, Central Park, NYC. I released a copy of Larry Kane's "Ticket to Ride", about his travels with The Beatles on their 1st and 2nd junkets to North America. I'm still waiting for that Journal Entry but you never know....(see Rock and Roll book list below)

My favourite books tend to be novels and biographies. My favourite novelists are Anita Shreve, Anita Brookner, Donna Morrissey, John Steinbeck and Roddy Doyle (not all of his books). I really enjoy Bill Bryson's books and I read a lot of rock/blues/soul etc. biographies. The music reading is a bit of an obsession, but the good news is, I find it's OK to read a novel at the same time as a music book. I could never read two novels at the same time! Music writers I really admire include Charles Shaar Murray, Barney Hoskyns, Paul Myers, John Einarson and Rob Bowman. Paul, John and Rob are from Canada, but write about musicians from all over (i.e. Long John Baldry, Flying Burrito Brothers, Stax Records.) I've met Rob Bowman several times, and he's a very down-to-earth guy. His knowledge of music/music business/history is never-ending!

....Jessibud, DonFiction (formerly Thyroidman) and Bookgirrl started up a new TORONTO OBCZ, March/09 at Harbord House Pub (formerly Rowers Pub) - 150 Harbord Street, Toronto, Ontario. University of Toronto neighbourhood. Short walk from Spadina subway station. HH hosts poetry readings, offers Ontario craft beers and good food @ good prices.

Within a week, I received my first Journal Entry from HH & we continue to hold book swap/meetups there. In 2011, something serendipitous happened; the widow of the director of the Rare Book Collection at U. of Toronto, (who had no idea what Bookcrossing was) dropped by with a box of her late husband's books - not rare books - but good, old general books like mysteries, novels, cookbooks, travel books, etc. They've all joined the OBCZ bookshelf, (after yours truly registered them), and a number of Journal Entries have resulted. Great to see these books circulating - the karma is strong.

Activity:
January 2005: I stumbled upon a dog-eared copy of "The Winter of our Discontent" while reaching up to grab a package of insulation at Home Depot. Talk about being discontent! It was a bitter winter in 2005, and my pipes were about to freeze! The humorously themed book release tweaked my interest, and as soon as I read up on Bookcrossing, I was hooked! Even better...."The Winter of..." was the very first John Steinbeck book I ever read back in 1974.
May 2005 - Meetup in London, with UK BookCrossers at OBCZ Stamford Arms
Dec 2005 - "Bucklesbook" signs up (my Mom) still going strong. She'll be 90 in October 2017.
April 2006 - North American BC convention in my hometown
April 2008: London Convention - found 3 "Wild Releases" - 1 near Westminster Abbey, 2 in Oxford. Great to see book crossers having "met" via email/JE communication. In Birmingham, Lyzzybee introduced us to a charming city and Balti curry. Yummy!
Feb 2009: Joined (somewhat reluctantly)....Facebook. Toronto Bookcrossers now has a FB page.
Sept 2009: 6th year at Word on the Street (WOTS) with Harrowsmith Magazine and Harrowsmith's Truly Canadian Almanac
April 2010. Amsterdam: Bookcrossing convention in Amstelveen (VU University Amsterdam.) Who could have predicted that whaddyacallit volcano? We were not affected as we arrived several days before the volcano. Getting home was another matter....
Sept 2010: 21st Annual "Word on the Street". Pooker3, Geishabird, Pinkoeria, Jessibud, Miss Efficiency and iNomad met up at noon. We learned that releasing lots of books together, gets results. Released about 55 on two park benches. Every one snapped up. And more than the usual number of JE's. 3 of mine joined up. Fun.
2011: Saving $$$ for Dublin Convention....and so far, 3 meetups/bookswaps at Harbord House this year. A dedicated group.
Summer 2011: Sadly, 35 year old Canadian classic, "Harrowsmith Country Life" magazine ceased publishing. All staff, including me, out of a job.
Sept. 2011: Word on the Street - time to get our books organized for an even bigger
"wild release". Miss-Efficiency suggests we bring a wheelbarrow!
April 2012: We had a wonderful time at the Dublin Convention - and managed to see Canadian bands Enter the Haggis and Hey, Rosetta!
May 2012: Married DonFiction, wonderful, book reading/writing man.
November 16, 2012: Meetup, Pickwick Pub in Zug, Switzerland, with storm0103 and 5kiana, plus Donfiction, nephew Spencer (age 12) - a real trooper who stayed for the whole evening (with a bunch of "oldsters"). Viva international Bookcrossers! Both of our "guests" travelled quite a long way by train to meet with us.
To "top" off a great trip to Switzerland, we went to the Jungfraujoch (translation: The Top of Europe) and there we found a "wild", registered book at 11,000 feet.
June 2013: Meetup with Aussie BX'er, Flight, HH Pub. She contacted me out of the blue, and 5 of us had a great time exchanging books over libations.
2014: We continue to have meetups/book swaps at Harbord House Pub, about every other month and have welcomed Canadateagirl to our group, from BC.
Sept. 2014: Another gorgeous Sunday for the 25th annual Word on the Street Festival in Toronto. Bookcrossers up to their usual high jinx. (We had a bench for kid's books, and a separate location for "grown-up" books.)
Sept. 28, 2014: A fun meetup with Xarodoc, from Germany. Typical of BX'ing karma...3 out of 8 people (including our guest) brought a copy of "The Time Traveller's Wife" (or...Traveler's, if you're in the USA).
2015: March marks 5th year for meetups/OBCZ at Harbord House Pub. Thanks, John Oakes - proprietor. Also, we have two, new BX'ers in our group. Fred and Livia. Fred found a book that had been sitting around Union Stn., (Toronto's big train station) for several years, and joined up. He volunteers at the station every Sunday, but still manages to drop in and keep us entertained with stories. 3 cheers for Livia who came by our January meetup still holding her "Woman's March" placard. We cheered her on.
June 2015: Meetup with Azuki (visiting from Miami) and her husband: HoserLauren, Nelle, Miss-Efficiency, Jessibud, Bucklesbook, Bookgirrl had a great time.
Sept. 2015: Word on the Street: First time at Harbourfront. We had a good time, and enjoyed standing "aside" and watching curious attendees ogle our "FREE BOOKS" collection. All were taken. Jessibud, Leester and Bookgirrl were there.
January 2016: Our first Toronto BX'ers meetup/book swap will take place Jan. 31st.
June 2016: We welcomed Azuki from Florida again at a meetup and surprise! - Ri joined us too, as she was back visiting Toronto from Cleveland, where she's been living for the past nine years. About 10 people came by Harbord House Pub, and we had a fun, boisterous time!
April 2017: Have signed up for the Oslo Convention. 'Might be going solo: Donfiction not sure if he can make it. Suddenly, everything around me is about Norway/Nordic things!
UPDATE: Donfiction is coming to Oslo! Yay! And, so is Azuki. 'Looking forward to seeing her.
Oslo was great. We had a wonderful time. So many interesting things to see and do, on top of a terrific convention. We are now in Bergen, and just did a trip to Voss, and fjords, including Flam. (Train, bus, boat) Looking forward to walking around Bergen harbour tomorrow.
May 7th, 2017: Just a few days after seeing him at the Oslo convention, we welcomed Xarodoc (in town from Germany) to our spring meetup/book swap/brunch. Some Oslo goodies will be shared.
July 2nd, 2017: Wonderful meetup with 3 guests from Maryland, USA, including intrepid BX'er SqueakyChu. 'So great to meet you! After the meetup, Jessibud and I took leftover books to 4 different LFL's on a "replenishing" mission.
August 23, 2017: Really fun meetup with sota48, her sister and friend visiting Toronto from Norway. And, a Norwegian/Canadian friend joined us and found out what Bookcrossing is all about. I hope she'll join up.
September 2017: 28th annual Word on the Street. A small but determined group this year did a mass book release, but for the first time, we were told we were not allowed to put the books on the WOTS site. So, we moved them to a bench by the TTC tracks. Every book taken, and a good percentage were journalled. Whooo hoo!
November 2018: Booked hotel for Mainz, April 2019!
