Loved reading since I was a kid, captured by the belief that anything was possible. English degree, then on to an Interior Design degree. I wished I had kept track of everything I've ever read. Shelfari is my first attempt to try and remember at least a portion of my literary history. I hate to say my brain has gone into semi-retirement and I tend to read adventure/spy/mystery/thrillers nowadays, instead of the thought-provoking classics. Lately I've been on a run of "books about books" such as The Shadow of the Wind, Codex, The Book of Air and Shadows, etc. (although none have quite met my hopes and expectations). I'm looking for that dream book with a slightly romantic twist, not too simplistic, not too obtuse. Please feel free to suggest any authors or books that might suit me in general, and thanks. « less
