About meI'm 24 and a civil servant. I live in Sheffield, UK.

I am supposed to be doing something else.

About my libraryI'd like to think my library is pretty eclectic. What makes it eclectic is probably the kind of stuff I'm not going to admit to owning on the internet, however.

I am probably never going to add all the books I possess onto this thing as it'll take too damn long. There is such a thing as too many books and I have it.

I'm in the middle of moving house right now, so my books are all packed up in crates. I'll be cataloguing more in a couple of weeks, I guess.

Youch. Free accounts are limited to 200 books. Damn.

I actually own most of his plays in book-form too, but I've been too lazy to add them yet. I haven't actually taken any time to add books yet, just played with the interface ;) Eventually, though, my mighty library of 40-something-books (some German) will be digitalized and webbroadcasteded.

Nice library! Looks like you're an Atwood fan too.

Er, well, that is pretty crap, yes :D I suppose you have more real-life merde to worry about than most, though, so I can't blame you for the odd internet faux pas. Funnily enough, though, I've found my writing productivity has actually increased since I ditched it. Which is nice.

Will Self, I have mixed feelings over. Great Apes is a brilliant book, but How The Dead Live was rubbish, and there's another one, which included something so distressingly disgusting that I've actually forceably forgotten which book it was and resolved never to read another book of his again. I'm not usually a prude, but it was just a wee bit too much for me.

Also, I didn't realise you were such a Will Self fan!

I'm good, but for the fact that I appear to be mesmerised by your user pic. Yourself?

Note to self: lose the flashy avatar before someone has a fit.
