About My Library
I own many more reference books than I do fiction.

Much of my daily reading time is devoted to learning French, Spanish and Italian, while a frequent subject of my 'bedtime reading' is linguistics in general.

Another prominent theme in my library is history, in particular that of Ireland. I enjoy reading about the lives of famous figures in history and politics too. Another subject that somewhat fascinates me is the history of Mountjoy Prison in Dublin.

My current favourite author with regards to fiction is Jules Verne. I was absolutely captivated the first time I read 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth', and it still has the same effect on my every time I read it.

About Me
I'm a 17-year-old secondary school student living in Dublin, Ireland.

As you can probably tell from my library, I'm somewhat obsessed with languages and learning them. I'm also interested in computers, music, history, politics and the internet.
