About meJust your average liberal/progressive/Green - vegan - feminist - anti-theist atheist - animal liberationist - tree hugging - Kucinich-voting - anti-racist/ homophobic/ transphobic/ sizeist/ ableist - white - heterosexual - cisgendered - able-bodied - childfree - geek.

Part time blogger at http://www.easyvegan.info and http://www.smiteme.net.

Part time copywriter and web editor.

Went vegetarian my freshman year of college (1996), and vegan approximately eight years later (it’s a process - animal-based products are everywhere, yo!).

About my libraryMy primary reason for creating a virtual library is to recommend animal rights books to my readers at easyVegan.info (that, and I'm a gadget geek).

If you're surfing on over from easyVegan, jump right to my tags to view the animal-related books I've cataloged. Top tags include animal rights, animal welfare, ethology, philosophy, etc. You get the idea.

Also worth noting: I've tried to mimic the post categories on easyVegan.info as closely as possible.

Recommendations and suggestions are welcome!

Hi, PS, also huge fan of Jane Goodall, my daughter is a criminal justice major, may go into forensics, and my older daughter has been a true crime buff for many years now. Well, offf to do some paperwork. How life does call to us to do the most tedious things! Mary Beth
Hi, I followed you here from Akjubie's site. We share quite a few books, but I'm suprised to see that there are no animal books in common. I am an avid animal rights person, and would like to retire into a life of fostering rescue dogs and finding forever homes for them. I also support various charities, all related to stopping inhumane treatment of animals, whether through testing, agriculture, puppy mills, dog-fighting rings, etc. Animals are our best friends, and I am fascinated by the connection between nature and human existence, and think it is never made enough of. Right now I am working on a short story about animals that were mutilated in the next town over, so based on a true story, but I am trying it from an animal's point of view, one that survives, and so is a sort of witness to the motivation of the person who did it. This really happened right around the corner from a home we own one town over. Realtors were going in to check out the house after a foreclosure and they discovered around 50 mutilated animals, of all sorts. Writing is my way of trying to sort this kind of behavior out in my own head I think, and somebody needs to speak for those without a voice. Although we are not strict vegan's , my family does try to support humanely run farms, but I think we are all working towards getting meat out of our diet entirely. I have wonderfully compassionate girls who are unselfish and loving when it comes to animals. Anyway, once my whole library is in here, maybe we wuill have some more books in common on the above subject, but nice to make your aquaintance. Oh, is the dog in your picture a dachsund. I have 2, and a Chinese crested.(the hairless type) Mary Beth
Now that is an awesome profile pic.

I loved your review of I Like You by Amy Sedaris. Brilliantly done - and a Charlene reference, bravo.
Hi,

Thanks for the invite. I look forward to sending you additional books for review. :)
