About mePh.D. student.

My hobbies are reading, sewing (quilts, clothes, and x-stitch), music (singing, piano, karaoke!), and baking/cooking.

My academic interests are 19th-20th century American and European art, history of photography, American studies, and history of technology.

About my libraryI read mainly fiction in my spare time. I like "classics," 20th century American and British lit, historical fiction, mysteries, and a smattering of popular fantasy/YA.

Collections: Tintin books in foreign languages, illustrated children's adventure/fairy tale books, and MAD magazine books from the 1950s-70s.

I have another account here, in which I'm trying to reconstruct all the books I've read in my life.
