About meHi! I'm an information studies student and bookstore employee. I might just be a bit book-crazy.

About my libraryThe books I currently own currently dwell on overflowing bookshelves and a phalanx of milk crates. It works.

Side effects of being student-poor but having a lot of borrowing power: what I've read exceeds what I own by miles. This makes it harder to input everything at once, so there'll be a steady trickle of "oh right, I read that!" additions and my "read but unowned" collection might shortly surpass "my library."
