About meI've always loved books and wished I could read faster. As a kid it was science fiction/fantasy before school helped me appreciate respectable literary classics. But as an adult I wanted to understand my world, turning me to non-fiction. I now wonder whether fiction can actually teach me more, but there's still so much nonfiction I'm drawn to.

I particularly like Mormon history, which is a field that has been really flowering in recent years. It holds a deep and complex place in my heart, in my mind, in my family, and in my community. I wish I enjoyed reading books more related to my career.

About my libraryMy home library is all filled up now, forcing me to resist thrift stores and subdue my Christmas lists. Most of my titles are related to Mormon history in some way, with a preference for scholarly work in Mormon Studies. And you'd be surprised how much of that is available online, no shelf space required.
