About meI'm a senior history major in college, and I'm known for my addiction to books. Even if I arrive at the beginning of the school year with none, I assure you by the end of even a single semester, my desk and the floor will be covered in books. Back home, I'm actually running out of space to put them! But mind you, I don't just buy any books for the sake of buying them. No, I read all the books I buy, although it is hard to keep up with my spending. And my philosophy towards books is, "read what satisfies your interests, and do not cast away your curiosity in favor of a "must-read". One mustn't limit oneself to what one's "told" to read, as the field of literature is boundless! I am not going to "add" all of the books I own to my list, as I want to be able to control what shows up in my recommendations. :)
About my libraryI currently own 366 books:
- History: 201
- Manga: 49
- Other: 70

Newly purchased: "Tom Jefferson: A Boy in Colonial Days" by Helen Albee Monsell

Best literature secret: I have cosplayed as Oscar Wilde!
I prefer to read early American history, French Revolution, English History, the Enlightenment, and the Reformation.
