About meWhen I was a child, I wanted to be a unicorn when I grew up. Or, failing that, the Pope.

By day, I'm a mild-mannered comic shop manager. By night, I dream of world domination.

My 2013 Reading Challenge
2012

About my libraryI have a massive amount of books that I own, but have not read yet. I love it when I randomly feel like learning about a subject, and I have a book that I can read just sitting on my bookshelf, waiting for me. I can't resist thrift stores and library sales, so my to-read list keeps getting longer and longer.

Feel free to drop me a comment if we have similar tastes or if you want to discuss a book. (Or if you want to prod me to read a book on my TBR list so we can discuss it.)

If any of my data is wrong, or if changing something will help editions combine better, let me know.
