About meI work and live in Austin, Texas. I studied biology and the brain at the University of Texas and still take a night class or two to keep sharp. My day gets spent poring over medical records and I spend my free time reading, studying, making music and enjoying life as much as possible.

About my libraryMy small apartment is sloshing at the rim with books and I am in dire need of a new shelf. I've got about 72 feet of books on shelves and a few spare feet in piles on side tables and instrument cases. I worked earnestly to build this collection over the past five or so years, but a few slipped through from my younger years. I found most of them used and have a hard time getting rid of books. Moving it several times has been a huge pain but at the end of the day its totally worth it. If my apartment burned down today I'd cry longest over the cat, but then definitely the books next.
