About meI'm such a book nerd, I work in publishing. I do most of my reading during my commute (thank goodness for mass transit). I just love reading. I am always looking forward to the next book. I love words, etymology, grammar, puns, etc. I'm so far gone, I swear.
In that same vein, I am always looking forward to my next meal. I love to eat and cook. That is my other hobby. I also have three cats that are THE BEST company for my love of reading. I am an atheist, married, from PA Dutch country, and 6 feet tall. I participate in two book groups. That about sums me up.

Beautiful Swimmers is one of my favorite books. Seeing your review reminded me that I need to write one of my own. I read it some years ago, and immediately bought my own copy.
My daughter (who lives in Bel Air, MD and is pursuing her PhD at the University of Delaware) read it when she was home this past summer, and loved it, as well. She said it has been on the recommended reading lists for several of her classes. In other words, Mom was actually on to something, here(!)
