About me "In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Hatter: and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad."
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat, "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Well, I'm a university student and likely anthropology major. My reading habits tend to vary according to the courses I'm taking and how much free time I have, but I'm always reading something - usually several very different things at once...

Currently reading: Hopscotch - Julio Cortazar, City of Saints and Madmen - Jeff VanderMeer, Love and Sleep - John Crowley, Arrive at Easterwine - R. A. Lafferty

About my library I read a lot of fantasy and science fiction, as well as all sorts of 'classic' literature, miscellaneous poetry, and some graphic novels. I especially love books with imaginative or intriguing ideas, amusingly dark humour, and anyone who writes awe-inspiringly beautiful prose. As far as non-fiction goes, I read a lot about mythology, ancient history, religion, (neo-)paganism, occultism, philosophy, and I have a definite weakness for books about books.
Also, I should point out that this library only contains books I actually own, not every book I read. I have a lot of books I haven't read yet and I use the library frequently.
