About meI read. I read a lot. If I could be doing any one thing at any given time, it would be reading. I know that I can somehow find a way to make reading my job. I also like to buy and collect books. Damn this computer for keeping me separated from my beloved literature. Sometimes even when I am not reading I like to hold the book, just to be close to it.

About my libraryI will read from any genre and am always interested in expanding my horizons. I have a soft spot for fantasy and a weakness for anything a little trashy, but I also like the classics, and I am not afraid to read something "hard".

It is my goal here to track (and eventually rate/review) every book I've ever read. My rating system has little to do with literary merit and more to do with how much I enjoyed the book.

Noticed you liked As I Lay Dying, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also southern and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter)in case you'd like to read more about the novel before you commit:

Hi! I like our shared books. Hermann Hesse is my favorite author and Zelazny's Amber series is my favorite fantasy series.
