About meI read alot. I took a job in a bookstore thinking this would allow me to actively pursue reading while getting paid. While I was wrong in this assumption, I do enjoy a nice employee discount, which allows me to purchase more books in such a way that the authors benefit while I do not go broke. Or, to be specific, more broke than I already am, since I spend all my paycheck at my place of employment. It's a small problem.

Now that I'm at a college with an excellent used bookstore nearby, but with less time than ever to read, I'm closer to having a book-related existentialist crisis than ever before. Studying in the library at my school is also nearly impossible, since I tend to want to wander the shelves rather than write my political science papers. This is also rapidly developing into a problem.

About my librarySmall, but steadily growing, my library is filled with lots of hand-me-downs from my father's Princeton days (including a nice copy of the Feminine Mystique, which he decorated the margins with phalluses), books on pop culture, novels featuring road trips, record stores and india, and memoirs of food writers. My all-time favorite books, however, are books about books; both novels and non-fiction (so if you have any suggestions in that respect, leave me comments!).

I've also begun considering starting to seriously collect books, with a focus on some of the great literature that's come out of the 21st century already, since I feel strongly about it as well as because first editions and autographed copies will not be nearly as difficult to find or exorbitantly expensive. Having said that, I want to know what book you consider to be the most prolific novel of the past nine years!
