About meI'm a graduate student and assistant at Penn State University in the Engineering Science department. In addition to classes, I do research on laser material interactions and laser applications. I'm either going for my Masters or PhD, haven't decided yet. Because that's my job, I read a lot of fiction in my free time. At work and in school I read engineering textbooks (not fun) and research papers (interesting at least).
Currently Reading:
My Next Several:

In order to keep myself organized, remind myself to read the books I have before buying new ones, and because they're fun, I participate in challenges and read books off lists. I have them all handwritten into my Moleskine and love the feeling of crossing them out when I finish.
I'm reading the "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die". My progress is...
My goal is to read at least 75 books in 2009 (a challenge, to be sure!):
And my latest challenge, the 999 Challenge for 2009:
Thanks for visiting, please feel free to friend or comment!
About my libraryAs I said above, I read mostly fiction, but some non-fiction sneaks in, especially social sciences (I get enough hard sciences at work). My listing also includes my textbooks from my engineering education (because there are a lot of them and they're everywhere). I FINALLY went through at deleted all the books I've purged in the last year, so this is a more accurate library. I don't delete books that I've written reviews for, so my tags indicate whether I gave those away or not.
Within fiction, my favorites include: classic and contemporary literature; quirky, fun books and serious, dramatic works; magical realism and realistic fiction, so basically...everything.
My favorite three books are A Prayer for Owen Meany, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Pride & Prejudice.
My favorite three authors are John Irving, Jane Austen, and Kurt Vonnegut.

I just got a reply about Alias Grace and I'm afraid the user has 'lent the books to someone' and can't send it. It had a different cover anyway.
Sorry!

Both of your books have arrived in the post today- they're up on bookmooch for you now! Just one small thing I forgot to mention when I listed them- 'How Late It was, How Late' has a different cover from the one shown on bookmooch. It is in very good condition though.
However, if you were looking for that specific cover, don't feel obliged to mooch it :) Either way, happy mooching!

Do you think there'll be any space in the package for another? I'm sort of wondering about mooching The Apple as well... but don't want to if it will take it beyond the flatrate MediaMail I keep seeing mentioned as the default shipping option!
Cheers,

I know that I used to sit with my brother and we'd come up with the perfect cast for it, none of whom were in the film (Sean Connery was Gandalf which was, in hindsight, nowhere near as good a pick as McKellan..)
I think Jackson simply loved the books. It is so faithful an interpretation that fans of the books would be hard pressed to do anything other than love it!

(only real exception is the Lord of the Rings trilogy - fantastic!)

Hope we will be able to share recommendations and reviews as I see you have lots and lots of books!!!
I especially like that you have Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe and have given it five stars, as that was also one of my childhood favourites (wasn't the film awful??!)
Anyway, hope to hear more from you soon.
