About meI love to read, whether it is to escape or to learn, both the classics and contemporary. One day I will have a turret room, the walls will be filled with full book shelves from floor to ceilings. There will be a reading chair in front of a large open window, with the sun streaming in and a stunning view over countryside leading to the sea. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago, one of the first things that struck me was all the books I would never get to read. It made me incredibly sad at the time.

About my libraryVery eclectic. I love the English classics, and reading about other cultures especially Russian, Indian, and Asian fiction and non-fiction. Currently seem to be reading a lot by scandanavian authors. Always re-read my favorites. Collect old children's books, for both the illustrations and the classic stories. Tons of books on my various art projects as I love reading to learn and to give myself incentive and new ideas.
