- About My Library
- I read a lot of fantasy and science fiction, graphic novels, and miscellaneous poetry. I especially like books with imaginative or intriguing ideas, amusing dark humour, and anyone who writes awe-inspiring lyrical prose. I also love fairy tales, folklore, and mythology. As far as non-fiction goes, that's a lot of religious studies, (neo-)paganism, ancient history, occultism, feminism, and books about books.
- About Me
- "In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Hatter: and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad."
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat, "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
I'm a 20-something Canadian woman with a BA in Anthropology. I can currently be found working reference at a Winnipeg library. I'm always reading something - usually several very different things at once. - Location
