About meI'm a PhD student in Computer Science at Binghamton University, NY, USA. Most of the time I'm programming or playing racquetball, but I do find time to read a book a week or so.

About my libraryMostly sci-fi/fantasy mass market paperback. I tend to buy authors first in paperback and then either upconvert the books I like or in special cases, start buying hardcover if I liked the beginning of the series. I have most of the dragonlance series, about half of the forgotten realms series, though I consider these light reads without much literary merit.

My favorite fantasy authors are probably Hobb, Martin, and Carey, with a nod to Jordan for his rich, albeit literally overdetailed world. I don't read as much sci-fi, but I really like Gibson's cyber-punk stuff. I tend to like character driven books with emotional richness that stay a step ahead of me.

I'm a purist, so every book listed here I actually own (sitting behind me in my bookcases).
