About meMy wife and I have been married since 2005. We live in North Jersey, just a few minutes from the GWB. I work in the city in IT for an insurance company. My wife works at a children's mental health center and is pursuing a Masters in Social Work, with the goal of becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I had always been a pretty voracious reader through high school and college up until the "innernets" came into existence. Recently I've weaned myself off of the net, except for a few sites I check regularly, and have returned to my previous reading appetite.
About my libraryOur library is a combination of the books my wife and I own, minus some still in storage at my wife's mother's house which I have yet to catalog. It's over 90% fiction as I love to get lost in a good novel.

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked Butcher Boy, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also about a disturbed adolescent and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

"...thoughts of David Lynch and Italo Calvino on a two year bender in Mexico producing the love-child that is 2666 percolating in my mind. Then, a few pages later, some of the characters begin discussing David Lynch...whoa indeed."
I had almost the exact same experience, with the Lynch reference and others. Real genius.

Thanks to "1001 books..." - otherwise I never think I would have read this! (well, even the write-up in 1001 Books didn't exactly make it sound thrilling...)
I can't even put my finger on why I enjoyed it so much :P
I think it's going to be something I'm going to be gifting to people, with the instruction "Just read it!"

Preston & Child series: Noticed that you included a "Pendergast Series" tag next to some of the books. That is one reason I had to stop reading their books, as I couldn't figure out why certain names sounded similar and people seemed to be reacting to others with some backstory that I didn't know. I will note that there are characters in "Thunderhead" that turn up in the "Pendergast Series" (or at least in one of the books in that series). The obvious solution is to just read their books in order of publication, but I haven't been able to get myself to read "Reliquary" yet.
