About meI'm a self-deprecating, over-educated grammar nerd. I'm a singer/songwriter/pianist/aspiring bagpiper (ok, that last one's a lie). I participate in full-contact knitting, Mythbusters Marathons and Icelandic Spelling Bees (ok, that last one is a lie too. Wouldn't that be cool, though?).
I also love pie. Hell, who doesn't love pie.
About my libraryMy true babies are my signed first editions which, since I do not carry the title of Baroness or Duchess, are quite limited in scope. I'm working on it.
I majored in poetry in college, hence the obscene amounts. I minored in Russian Literature, also hence.
I can't really explain the Neil Gaiman. Something tells me he wouldn't want me to.
And could someone please explain why I have four copies of Anna Karenina?

Saw you liked Bastard Out of Carolina, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reading my new novel and posting your opinions here (as well as on a few other book-related sites). Thought you might like it since it's also southern and a bit dark. I'd be glad to e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Starting on a small road trip tomorrow & I think I/ll take it along... it would be good to read it again.
He was someone I really wanted to meet or correspond with but unfortunately it never happened.
Thank you for contacting me...
yrs, Drew
PS: Have you ever read anything from Karin Lessing?

And btw, one of the things I realized when I first started this was that I had three copies of Anna Karenina. You would think a book that size would not hide from you.
