About meI am a twenty-something from the always-interesting city of Phoenix, Arizona who recently moved northward to a very small (very cold!) university town in the mountains. I am currently an undergraduate student majoring in political science and criminal justice. I hope to attend law school after I graduate, and I plan to work in local law in the immediate future. Sometime before I'm old and decrepit, I'd like to get a Master's degree in American History as well. As cliche and lame as it sounds, I have a strong love for the forty-eighth state and would love to be actively involved in its inner workings and improvement.

Other than that, I enjoy pretty much all college kid interests -- I love hanging out and spending time with my friends, I am a rabid Pearl Jam fan, and an avid musician. I love hiking and anything outdoorsy in general, I have a serious soft spot for animals, and I collect gnomes.

About my libraryI am generally interested in nonfiction -- I have a compulsive need to learn something about everything, and the quirkier the better. I absolutely LOVE reading about American history -- my specific interests are presidential history, the early years of the United States up to the Civil War, Watergate and the Nixon administration, and 9/11 and the Bush administration, and Southwestern history. I also love reading about true crime, conspiracy theories and UFOs.

As far as fiction goes, I'm pretty set in the authors I'm interested in. I love J.R.R. Tolkien, Cormac McCarthy, Jack London, John Steinbeck and Leo Tolstoy.
