About my libraryI tend to give a lot of books away (or leave them in public places for others to find) or use the public library so I actually currently own only a handful of the books listed. The books listed are books that I've read, unless they're listed as textbooks, then I've only read part, well sometimes all.
I have several children's books both because they're enjoyable and I used to teach primary school. I'm focusing on reading more books on Southeast Asia (M.A. in International Affairs with a focus on Southeast Asia), but will read just about anything.

I see in your profile that you like to leave books in public places. Have you ever thought of joining Bookcrossing? There is an active group in the DC area that does just that!
www.bookcrossing.com
Let me know if you'd like more information!

Although, you are another Terry Pratchett fan, apparently.

I really liked the "Emergency Sex" book.
