I collect natural history, environmental, and geography books, almost compulsively. I look for used versions where I can (to save paper) but also appreciate that many of these books come out in runs of a few thousand copies, and aren't profit-makers for the publishing companies, so when they come out new, I buy them while they're new. If you like Geographile and want to let me know, please either comment on my posts, or visit my Powell's wishlist to feed my book collection. You might find books you like there, too.
I am a middle-aged geographilic student and writer. You can find me on Twitter as @geographile (mostly geographilic feed/retweets/info) and @mactavish (more personal, still science-oriented).

Hilarious!
Barren wasteland? Check. Riddled with fire, ash, and dust? Check. Poisonous fumes? Check. Yep, time to rename Iceland.
(Well, okay, not quite a barren wasteland. But if the shoe fits...)
Like Mordor, Iceland is mostly mountain and swamp.
I keep trying to talk my wife into going to Iceland for a second honeymoon and she wants Paris! Go figure that!
