- About My Library
- Until the end of college, I thought buying books was stupid; that's what the library was for. I had to buy books for classes and loved owning them and after I found some good used bookstores (Daedalus on the downtown mall in Charlottesville and the friends of the library store in Orange), buying books became a bit of an addiction. I'm missing some of my favorite books, though, since I read library copies. I also have a whole mess of books I still haven't read yet (they're marked as such).
