About mePlease not that this profile is under construction! I am still working though all of my bookshelves, and at this point have yet to hit the halfway mark. So many books, so much distraction! Ah yes, and because of a computer flub on my part, most of my books are incorrectly categorized. I hope to have that straightened out very soon.

Now that the warnings are out of the way, on to more important things.

The name's Marie, and I am a female, full-time law student living and working on San Jose, California. I have a BS in Honors English Literature and a strong background in the medical sciences, particularly chemistry and laboratory techniques.

I am a voracious reader, and even discounting my school reading I manage at least fifty or so books a year, with an average of four- to five-hundred pages. Last year I believe I managed a few past 70 books total with a 375-page average. This year will not be quite so many, on account of heavy classwork and casework, but I hope to finish another 15 books or so by New Years.

My reading style, like my collection itself, leans towards eclectic. I have "moods" with my reading - first a few weeks of biographies, then I might be in the mood for classical fiction, then perhaps even a jaunt into my absolute favorites, the Jane Austen continuations and sequels.

I wrote my 100+ page collegiate senior thesis on Pride and Prejudice adaptions, and admit to something of a addiction. Both good and bad, I'll read them all just as fast as they come out.

I also have a noted fondness for specific-histories, with a particular interest in the histories of specific food products. But really, there's nothing I will refuse to read - even fantasy and romance will pique my interest once in a while. I especially love recommendations!

About my libraryEclectic! I read a wide variety of books, from novels to non-fiction, and always have strong opinion about what I've read. One can appreciate Herman Melville one night and enjoy a trashy romance novel the next - I see no obvious contradiction.
