About meI'm a writer who was once upon a time a writer/artist, currently living in Baltimore, MD. I worked with books for over ten years, nearly seven of them with an independent shop in the Chicago suburbs. If I could afford to sell books and not starve, I most certainly would. Us booksellers, we're a dedicated bunch.

About my libraryI moved east in late 2007 and the majority of my collection is, for the time being, unloved, uncatalogued & in boxes in the midwest. This is less than half of what I've got, but it's a decent sampling.

Versatility is the spice of reading and you'll find my library keeps a soft focus. Perhaps it reveals me as scattered, but I'd like to think it means any random grab of text will keep me entertained for at least an afternoon.

That small box trick came in handy when people swore they wouldn't help until I got rid of some. For a while we were moving twice a year and lugging these babies around is no picnic.

I have the books that I didn't think I'd want to get my hands on immediately in storage in the garage right now. Technically, you could get rid of those boxes and it would take me a very long time to notice which were gone. Still don't want to give them up. Culls! You're all trying to hunt the lame and the weak away from my flock. Get away, scavengers, they are mine. (I think that if I went across state lines, like you, I'd be much more reasonable. I'm sure there are tons of mantras about letting go of material possessions I can focus on instead.)

Different subject, but if I wanted to read something by Tess Gallagher, which would you recommend?
;) Don't forget the goth smut. While I'm swimming happily in all these books now, I can't help but think, "Oh lord, who's going to help me move them next time I relocate...?"

Your hero comment made me smile, even if in jest, as the feeling is mutual. I love your book collection here because many of them are ones I haven't seen before.
