About me Grad student, procrastinator, etc

About my library My library is basically a big stockpile of books that I haven't read. The reason for this is because there are three secondhand bookshops within two minutes' walk of my house and two more at university, plus the bi-annual 20p book sale. The tyranny of cheap books means that I am unable not to buy these things, and I tell myself that one day I will have time to read them. At the least, it's better to give a few hundred pounds to my local hospice now than thousands of pounds to Waterstone's and Amazon later.

I use the library quite a lot, meaning that the tag 'Read' does not provide a complete list of all that I have read. It is, however, an indicator of my obsession with recording what I have been doing.
