About meI am a lit Ph.D student, but I am desperate not to become a cynical reader. For fun, I try to read things that don't immediately kick-start my critical aptitudes; Victorian fiction and British Modernism tend to turn me into an egghead, so I do my best to branch away from that when not writing a paper. Give me contemporary literature, and make it good, meaty and delicious.

About my libraryThis will reflect my scholarly bent, but it will hopefully come to include much, much more.
