About meI love three things: reading, strength, and reading about what other people are reading. I write as the World's Strongest Librarian over at www.worldsstrongestlibrarian.com

If you want to see a humble librarian tear a phonebook in half:

Thanks for visiting!

About my libraryI've read every book in my catalog, but don't own most of them. I'll try anything (except V.C. Andrews, not anymore). I'm no literary snob, but I do skew towards a quality of writing that's not found in most thrillers or romances. Still, for all this talk and posturing, I wind up reading plenty of tawdry trash, telling myself it's all work-related. I have very eclectic taste, love dark humor, and like to pretend that I'm smart and informed, so for every third novel I read, I read some important-sounding nonfiction book. About 90% of what I read comes across the desk at work or is recommended to me, so let me know what can't be missed that I might not find on my own.
