About meI went back to school in hopes to gain an education. I quickly learned that knowledge is not necessarily obtained through an institution. So I read.
I read mostly non-fiction in subjects such as history, science, nature, politics, current-affairs, etc.
I have been nervous about reading fiction ever since hearing about a study that says we remember things that we read as truth later on even if we know it is fiction. There is more to the study but that was the gist of it.
Other than that, I am married with two little boys. We spend much of our free time exploring around our home town of Warrenville or going to local museums and zoos.

About my libraryMy library will mostly consist of books which I have borrowed from the area libraries around my home. I do not spend a lot of time or money at bookstores. If it is a must have that I will read again and again, I will buy it. Otherwise, we have a wonderful library system which allows me to borrow from just about any library in Illinois.
I am interested in collecting some old books, but do not have many of them accumulated on my shelf.
I also have an extensive collection of children books that the kids love to have read to them all of the time.
