About meI read stuff. I also write stuff. And I have a band. And I paint stuff, design jewellery, and am available for freelance graphic design (please note, my image is a caricature of me by Susie Beeca, the cover artist for my first novel and illustrator for an in-the-works "graphic chapbook").

Word on the street is that my penis is bigger than the Internet.

About my libraryVaried tastes. I have a lot of pre-ISBN editions, some things are even out of print or were never available commercially in the $tates. I've uploaded about 30% of my covers so far.

My music library is much larger. MUCH larger.

I've so far left out most (if not all) comic strip anthologies I own (they're mostly CALVIN & HOBBES and BLOOM COUNTY), nor any of my cookbooks, and I still don't have all of my graphic novels listed. There is not yet any reason for this aside from sloth.

A QUICK NOT ABOUT MY LIBRARY TAGS:
"Tag" does not equal "genre", so while some of my tags coincide with a book's genre, not all of a books tags will be a genre. on 2010-07-30, in a fit of insomnia-induced boredom, I decided to play a memory exercise and tag all of my books with both a) the condition I acquired the book in (to keep in simple, the conditions are "new" and "second hand"), and where I acquired the book from (usually the name of a store, sometimes as "gift", and more often than I am proud of, I've debatably "stolen" a few from friends or old schools -- usually due to moving or losing contact, or just youthful absent-mindedness). "A Good Read" is the name of a street vendor in Ann Arbor; Con-Fusion is the event I know a friend found a gifted book for me at.
