About me The library belongs to the family; an American book addict and IT professional (it's hard to encapsulate a 20-year career in a meaningful phrase), an Australian system administrator, and an Australian-American female child (born March 2004).

About my library It looks like it's on the order of 5,000 books, so if you're wondering something like "Why are there so many books late in the alphabet?" or "Do they own NO technical books?" blame it on what we've catalogued so far. It's about 70-30 fiction/non-fiction, mostly genre fiction (murder mysteries and science fiction). But I have a fondness for references, including useless reference works (obscure personality-typing theories are my favorites, and I'm still hoping to run across a book my father had as a kid which mapped people to the rivers of the world).

I lived in Switzerland for a while, we have family in New Zealand, and I come from a family of linguists, so there are some odd sub-categories, some of which are harder to catalog than others.

Almost all of the books have been read by somebody in the family (usually me, Elizabeth, because I read at breakneck speed).
