About me R.I.P. Kurt Vonnegut 1922-2007 A man who could form beauty from the absurdity in the world is now gone.

Soon to be a graduate of Penn State University in English and Philosophy with a minor in International Studies (Ireland). Enjoy reading immensely but joining this website makes it ever the more blatant to me that I have not read enough nor far enough out of my comfort zone.

About my libraryThese are the books that I have a clear recollection of reading. I have left out a lot I wanted to include because I simply don't remember actually finishing them. If I were to include all the books I've read half or three-quarters of, I'm sure the list would double in size. I'd rather get around to finishing them first so I can include them. Those rated with stars are not rated on some grand scale of critique but rather just the way in which I feel they have affected me as both a person, a writer and a reader. Three stars would be what I consider the middle point, no huge impact but memorable and enjoyable. 1 and 2 *hurt* to read or I just didn't enjoy them at the time. Anything above 3 I consider to be the books that I greatly enjoyed as well as those that have simply had impact. No stars are mainly kids books or I just felt too ambiguous about them.
