About My Library: I love books, and I love reading. I have a wide range of interests and my reading material reflects this. I enjoy modern classics, popular fiction, non-fiction, science fiction, satire, horror, and even some romance or young adult fiction from time to time.

I tend to get hooked into series books and/or obsessed with a particular author or narrow genre (e.g. books about mountain climbing disasters) for periods of time. I also own/read a lot of crap that I choose not to list because frankly, it's embarrassing.

I took a long hiatus from LibraryThing for no particular reason, and I haven't been keeping up on adding my new books. I am working on updating my collection. However, for now, I will mostly be using this to keep track of books I've read.
