About me I am a cataloger in a university library, which just feeds into my obsession with the written word. I usually read 100 books a year, although that number drops significantly when I'm taking classes.

You'll note I have several titles in philosophy on my list, because I am a student in that field.

I am also a vegan, and you will note many vegan and vegan-friendly cookbooks in my library.

My favorite book, if I had to name just one, would be "Wittgenstein's Mistress" by David Markson. I read it at least once a year, and it's different every time.

Recommendations are always appreciated!

About my library Once upon a time, I tried to buy every book I could get my hands on, but that was not a good idea. So, I've sold off or given away most of my books. I am now a committed library user, except for those few books I really want to own.

So, my 'library' here is not representative of things I own. Instead, I'm using it to keep track of books I've read, books I want to read, etc.

Some tags of note:

'@ToReadNext' = if I had to prioritize, I'd like to read these works before moving on to others.

'Wishlist' = books I want to own.

'TBR' = books To Be Read, but not to buy (yet).

'RA' = books I've Read Already, at least once.

'own' = books I own already, in case you're curious.

'1001Books' = books considered 'classics' of literature, mostly adjudicated so by the book "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die".
