This webpage is a list of books in my home library in Vancouver, Washington, in
2020.
VSCL: Valley Spirit Center Library.
VSCL normally means a paperbound or hardbound copy, mostly purchased used and
some new via my Amazon or Powell's accounts, e-book Kindle versions so noted.
It is also a list of titles I have enjoyed reading that were borrowed from the
Fort Vancouver Regional Library (FVRL), Clark County,
Washington; and from (1998-2017) the Tehama County Public Library in Red Bluff, California, or from California State University at Chico.
I read many of these books starting in 1962, and then worked 40 years in
libraries, classrooms, and media centers.
On February 13, 2016, I gave nearly all my books about Buddhism to the Sky Creek Dharma Center in Chico, California. The Sky Creek director, Bob Speer, came out to my home and picked up six boxes of Buddhist books and one walnut wood shelf. I hope the books benefit the Sky Creek Dharma Center. We moved from Red Bluff, California, to Vancouver, Washington, in April of 2017. Many of these books included poetry.

He lives on a farm in Henry County, Kentucky. I've never made a living off of a farm, having lived in East Los Angeles for 52 years. When we lived in the North Sacramento Valley, near Red Bluff, California (1998-2017), we lived on five acres of land in a rural setting of almond and walnut orchards. We enjoyed gardening, landscaping projects, planted a 125 tree orchard, and related to farmlands in new ways; and both were part-time employees of the Tehama County School District, not making a living as farmers like Wendell Berry. I read Wendell Berry in 1999 and connected with his themes and style.
