About me I work full time in retail and also enjoy photography. I subscribe to way too many magazines and like movies. On occasion, I'm known to go to the gym. I live outside of Buffalo, NY with my two cats, Zoe and Anderson Cooper.
About my library I absolutely love books. I can't even describe to you what it is like for me to go into a bookstore, especially a used bookstore. Fantastic!
From a young age, I was encouraged to enjoy reading and I often was seen with a book no matter where I was going. I was scandalized by Stephen King's It in 7th grade, but I was ready to read more mature material, so I'd just grab whatever mom was finished reading.
I need more shelf space but that won't prevent me from getting more books. I get many of my books used, but I do buy new books on a fairly regular basis.
People often give me book recommendations and I'll definitely consider them, but it may take me years to read the book you recommended. I have to feel the book before I read it. If it doesn't hit me right when I start to read it, I'll go to something else. I often will be reading anywhere between 3-5 books at the same time.
My favorite authors include John Irving, Barbara Kingsolver, Margaret Atwood and Joyce Carol Oates. I enjoy Simon Winchester and Mary Roach as well.

We share 91 books but more importantly, we share the same reaction to The Guardians - rare is the book I can't finish, but this one just got on my nerves. I share your high ratings for A Prayer for Owen Meany, my favorite book and author, and Troost's Sex Lives of the Cannibals, the funniest book I have ever read! Here's to the next great book.... Mel

Startled to find not only that we share a lot of books -- which is not that unusual -- but that most of the ones we share are ones I'd consider the most important in my library.
