About meI'm another one of those writer/musician/grad student types. Now in Toronto after years of living in Portland, Ore.
About my libraryIt's starting to break down into 1/4 poetry, 1/4 fiction, 1/4 nonfiction, and 1/4 Penguin classics, which are collected on their own because they look better that way. But the fiction pile is unlikely to grow much, unlike the other three piles. Oh, there are some comics in there too. Hm.
Some of my books are here in Toronto, some are back in Portland in storage. Such is life. Also many were sold before the move, which at some point I'll have to update.
GroupsAncient History, Canuckistan, Cookbookers, Esperanto!, Homer, the Trojan war, and pre-classical Greece, ILXOR, Language, Lingua Latina, Maps and Atlases, McGonagall - the World's Worst Poet —show all groups, Medieval Europe, Oregonians, Penguin Classics, Portland Readers, Powell's City of Books, Xperi-mental

Years later, I ended up writing a chapter of my dissertation on Tina's work. Needless to say, it's a hugely important book for me. And so rare to run into someone else who has read it!
