About meI love to read, I own more books than anything else. I am allergic to cats, love to travel, drink lots of coffee and oil paint in my free time. I am a photojournalist, currently working for two weekly papers in the Boston area. I grew up in California. I miss the sun setting over the beach and having sunshine 75% of the year. I read a few books a week and don't know anyone who reads as voraciously as me, which is why I joined LT.

About my librarymost of it is currently residing in a storage compartment in venice beach. the rest is here in boston with me.

The Most Beautiful Book in the World: 8 Novellas by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

"Somebody said that it couldn't be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it."
— Edgar A. Guest

Hi! Saw that you were reading House of Leaves which is one of my favorite books. I am writing just to encourage you to hang in there. It is definitely unusual but was fun for me once I got into it. Good luck!

I finished The Thirteenth Tale last night! I thought it was a nice touch when she put Adeline's ashes in Emmeline's casket.

did you ever find that obscure copy of Johnathan Carroll's Voice of Our Shadow? I've just Mooched a copy don't know if it's the first edition hardcopy you wanted, but know it's an older copy. If you'd be interested, after I'm done reading it, I'd be willing to pass it along.

Thank you! I love yours too, and it took imagination.

Hi Kat -- sorry it's taking me so long to respond to your very prompt and interesting comment about Never Let Me Go. I still don't have time tonight to respond intelligently! But wanted to say hey and thanks for the note and I'll get back to you on that soon! (I read another of his books, Remains of the Day, over the weekend. I'm in love with his writing!)

Hi, I'm glad you enoyed Whatever You Do, Don't Run, and yes, I am hard at work on a follow up. In fact, I am surrounded by thousands of hairs I have shed stressing over its deadline. Know any good wiggeries?
