About My Library
This is where the inner Gemini comes out. The library is not one of many books on a few particular subjects, but rather a few books about a number of different subjects. With the exception of the manga collection, most of the books in the library have been collected over the years for one or more of the following purposes: reference or research for my writing (science, medicine, true crime, nature, symbols), self-study/improvement (language, philosophy, history), or curiosity (sociology, psychology, gender studies)--hence, the overwhelming number of non-fiction books.

I'm not a fan of the fictitious stuff the masses follow. I try to read things that are 'popular', but I usually get bored or annoyed with the style, particularly if the narrative is written in the first person or there are contractions in the narrative. I prefer the works they make you read in high school or university during literary studies classes, especially drama/theatre.

Topics I enjoy immensely: ancient Greece, the Roman empire, mythology, psychology, reptiles, dinosaurs, and (not really a topic but) trivia collections.

Categories and topics I do not generally seek out (evidenced by lack of presence in the collection): current events, politics, biographies, pop culture, religion, self-help, sports, fantasy/sci-fi/young adult fiction.
About Me
♡LOVE♥どっきゅん☆彡です。趣味は・・・読書です!夢はリタイヤしたら別荘を買い、素敵なパーソナルライブラリーを作ることです。ちなみに、私は長女、双子座、A型です。そして、タイプはそうですね・・・文学、心理学、百科事典みたいな豆知識集かな(本のことね)。あと、「クロゼットオタク」です。まぁ、聞かれたら別に否定はしないが、初対面にこんなプライベートなこと言ったら普通の人はひいてしまうでしょう。本の大好きなあなたと仲良くなりたいです!よろしくお願いします。

Let's see, I love books and I love to read. Areas of interest include classic literature, psychology, and reference books, though I do enjoy philosophy, certain periods of history, true crime, and foreign languages. My guilty pleasure is manga. Like my choice in music and friends/company, I am very finicky about the kind of books I read. I do not think of myself as snobby, just selective. I know what I am looking for so I do not waste time on anything that will not give me any utility. Cataloging and organizing my library is a constant challenge. I would love to connect with people who share my passion for books and reading.
