About My Library
I have a PhD in German literature, and I teach at a Midwest university, so a large number of the books in my personal library are German. I also have a great love of American, British, and French literature. I also like many different genres. Not all of my books are listed on LibraryThing.
About Me
"Pure, bracing ventilation they must have up there at all times, indeed." (Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte)

"Ich han einem toren glich getan, / diu maere der ich laster han, / daz ich diu niht kan verdagen: / ichn woldes ouch e nie gesagen." My translation: [I have behaved like a fool, not able to keep silent about the tale of my shame: I should never have told it.] (Iwein by Hartmann von Aue)

“I had forgotten how much light there is in the world, till you gave it back to me.” (A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin)

"Fortunately, America is a country that abounds in matches. Everyone has personalized books of matches and restaurants can't give them away fast enough." (Touchfeather by Jimmy Sangster)
