About My Library
I come from a family of extreme bibliophiles- though I have not done the exact math, I am pretty sure we collectively spend more on books than anything else in life. This, combined with a Waldorf education (which meant early exposure to classic literature) created a hardcore nerd who adores spending her free time browsing at length in libraries and doing research just for the hell of it. To this end, my library is a fairly hodgepodge collection, and the vast majority of books I have read I do not own but merely came across. I also never ever read books twice (blame a photographic memory) so I tend to give away my books. Hence, what is represented here is a small portion of what I have read or want to read. Mostly, those books I had a reasonably strong opinion about, whether favorable or unfavorable, or those I want to obtain and read in the near future and don't want to forget about in the meantime.
About Me
Composer, violist, music theory nerd, graphic designer, and avid devourer of every book within sight. I am an omnivore in every sense of the word. I love biographies, I love history (most especially of the Middle Ages), I adore historical fiction, and I am a geek for the classics.
