About meGrad student at the University of Glasgow. Bet you can't guess my research area from my tags! (Yes, that was sarcastic.)

About my libraryWhen I was little, my mother decided that the best way to bribe me to do my chores was to offer me a new book after I'd done a certain number of things.
When I was maybe fourteen, my father started trying to refuse to give me books for my birthday or christmas, because he thought I had too many. (He ended up buying them anyways.)
In college, one of my boyfriends threatened to break up with me just so he wouldn't have to help me move all those boxes ever again.
And when I got married and bought a house, the first modification we made was to add built-in bookshelves. A year later, we added them in another room. A year after that, I had to go buy another wall's worth of shelving from IKEA.
Then I got divorced and moved to Scotland. (I lost my entire Neil Gaiman collection, almost all of my Heinlein, and a fair chunk of my 19th c. literature in the divorce--but, on the bright side, I no longer have to find shelf space for stacks of math and computing books.) Most of my books are currently stored in my parents' attic-- hence the 'box' tags. Most of the books I've acquired since I've been here haven't been entered, because I've been moving around too much and had too little time.
