About meI am a book lover in my 30s and I can't believe I never came across this website before! This is some sort of heaven... I live in Washington, DC - a city I love.
About my libraryMy library is as eclectic as can be; my interestes range from literature to science and the occasional political cartoons compilation. I have several Portuguese language books (I am Brazilian) and I have a love of German expressionism (think Thomas Mann). My little library is also overflowing with books on Israel, Judaism, the Holocaust and WWII, poetry, linguistics and philosophy.
