About meI'm a grad student attempting to become a librarian and I'm originally from Ohio. In the spirit of being glaringly obvious: I like to read. Besides books, I also collect unused airline barf bags. Clearly, I'm an odd duck.

I like making jokes about Chekov, Brecht and Beckett, because it's just so damn easy. That doesn't mean I don't love each and every one of them.

About my libraryMy library is a precarious work-in-progress as I am in Boston and the majority of my library is in Ohio. I wrote that previous sentence about 3 years ago and it's still true. This fact makes me a little bit sad. It's getting better though. Thank god for parents who save all manner of boxes and media mail shipping rates.
