This account chronicles virtually everything I have read and/or owned during my 27 years of life: kids' books, young adult titles, classics, modern literature, mainstream fiction, and grammar/style guides. I have been as complete as possible; however, I confess that there are several titles I have forgotten over the years. This account also includes my husband's books, which are primarily psychology textbooks and guides.
My reading tastes are extremely diverse these days. I will explore just about any category, "heavy" or "light": classic literature, contemporary fiction, romance fiction, sociological studies, cultural studies, historical fiction (particularly about China and Japan), Appalachian trail memoirs, and satire/comedy. You will also see quite a few Sourcebooks titles (Inner Bitch, calendars, etc.) that I read and/or edited while employed as an editorial intern there.
