About My Library: Movies helped reintroduce me to books (being a huge fan of Smoke, Blue in the Face in particular) though the first book I really remember reading since my hiatus was American Gods.

Reading right now:

Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity, Julia Serano

Master and Man, Leo Tolstoy

Choosing Death, Albert Mudrian
About Me: I didn't read books for a good number of years and now can't seem to stop. I am a poky reader. I have a good many college credits that add up to exactly bupkis (literature as I recall was not among them). Read into that what you will.

When I'm not shaking my cane or throwing rocks at the neighborhood kids I'm busy polishing my monocle.
