About meI make collages out of old books. Hide your encyclopedias and children's storybooks. They are all fuel for my madness.
If anything I've entered messes with combining or separating books, feel free to contact me.
I now work at Comix Revolution in Evanston, Illinois; come by and say hello.
About my libraryI don't have many physical books on here. I'm a cliff dweller, so I just don't have the room...
Currently moving my music entries over to Rate Your Music.
Comic book issues are going to the comic book database.

Saw you liked Trainspotting, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reading my new novel and posting your comments here (as well as on a few other book-related sites). Thought you might like my novel since it's also about a group of disturbed kids and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

I've actually not spent as much time on RYM as I thought, as I'm a bit obsessive about adding track listings, and it's not easy to do. But I persevere, whenever I'm in the mood.

I see we are sort of neighbors (I'm a south sider, though). I assume you've marked your calendar for the Newberry Library book sale? ;-))
