About Me

I'm the Dean of the Library at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. I'm an obsessive reader of literary fiction and mysteries. However, I also read biographies, especially biographies of women. I started out recording only books I own in LibraryThing but recently decided to record everything I read, whether or not I own it. I'm borrowing a lot of books from my library, especially since we started a Popular Reading Collection! I used to keep a reading journal, recording a review of every book that I read, but I just can't seem to do it anymore. I've started recording my reading by year in LibraryThing instead.
