About meI'm currently swamped in school work and have been avoiding the forums until I'm able to catch up. I miss the conversations, but I'll be back as soon as I can!
I'm an underprivileged and perpetually bored university student majoring in both the arts and the sciences. Conversation tends to irritate me, so I read.
Answers to questions I'm frequently asked include: Yes, I wear nerdy glasses. Yes, my hair is purple. Yes, that's steel in my face. No, I'm not a bunny-eared mutant from outer space.
Topics of particular interest to me include (but are not limited to): addiction, alternative medicine, animal behavior, animal care, biology, censorship, cooking, conspiracies, cryptozoology, death, DIY, environment, evolution, going green, plant care, religions, speculative science, surrealism, and world cultures and languages.
About my libraryMy full library comprises thousands of books on a variety of subjects. I have bookshelves in every room of my house.
I learned to read by the time I was just three years old. At seven, I was devouring full-length novels. I wish I would've kept better records. The books I own now are only a fraction of those that were ever a part of my collection.
I use LibraryThing to keep track of books I've read and books I intend to read, not necessarily all the books I own or have owned. Most of my books come used, and plenty leave my hands as soon as I'm finished reading them. Books are meant to be read, right? I consider myself a lifelong liberator of literature. You'll find information about some of my releases in the "notes" section of my catalog.
I tag books as I'm reading them, but never before. Please see the appropriate columns in my catalog for information about when I've finished reading a book.
Genres weigh in heavily as I consider what rating to give any book I've read. For example, just because I've rated a children's book with five stars doesn't necessarily mean that I think it's better than a classic I've rated with only three stars.
I recognize comprehension as an important aspect of reading, so I include plot synopses within my reviews along with my thoughts and comments. Consequently, many of my reviews contain spoilers. Consider yourself warned.

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Because of all the great recommendations / authors I’ve never heard of before piles of books are growing around us, so we’ve decided to buy more bookcases and paint them to match the walls too … hopefully this’ll mean I can get some more books off the floor and onto my TBR category on LT! I’m hoping to get some new pictures of it soon when it’s finally finished.
I see on your reviews you liked Night Watch, I’ve just finished the audio book of it (I’ve read / heard a few of Pratchett’s books but mainly on audio book, his writing seems really well suited to being read out), and it has to be my favourite of his ‘vimes / guards’ stories, really funny and a great storyline. I love his little social commentaries such as vimes ‘boot theory of socioeconomic unfairness’ :)
