About me i read everything that crosses my path. i read classics, and children's lit, and popular novels, and textbooks, and crap (which i usually don't know is crap until i start, and then i just can't stop in case there is one redeeming moment). most books that i really like, i read over and over and over. last count on the giver: 23 reads in 12 years. the harry potter series: 4 times for the whole thing, at least 7 or 8 for the early ones. lamb by chris moore: probably a dozen reads, necessitating the replacement of said copy twice. i hate it when people write in books... that's what book journals are for.

favorite genres:
dark humor
light fantasy
children's lit
social sciences

About my library my library is on one hand a labor of love and on the other a complete catch-all. i have tried to hold on to every book that's come my way since i was a kid, but that hasn't happened. being a student and moving around a lot has meant that i had to cull out some of the extra weight, and some entire boxes were lost in the "great moving fiasco of 2003." as it stands currently, this listing represents every book i have in my apartment. and as soon as that newfangled scanner comes in, i will attack the boxes that are stored in my parents attic.
