About meI'm a student at the University of Toronto, in my hometown. After some confusion, I've found my niche studying classics and classical civilization.

Aside from my books, I live with a roommate.

About my libraryBy the standards of this site, my library isn't very big; in contrast to the size of my bedroom, my collection is very big indeed. I have seven bookcases in here already, and if I buy too many more books, they will have nowhere to live. Most of my books are "literature", mysteries or textbooks, with a growing collection of science fiction and fantasy, and some children's books.
