About meI incline more towards reading than writing for the time being.

About my libraryIt's my reading diary from 1995 to the present. All books are sorted by date in Your library except the ones I'm Currently reading. I've also grouped some of my books into additional collections:

Insightful books were well-written and gave me new perspectives,
Classic books have been historically influential,
Difficult books required more interpretive work than I was able to put in,
Badly written books were too long or lacked clarity,
Boring books were a waste of time,
Partly read books are books that I didn't read from beginning to end,
To read again includes books that I intend to read a second time.
