I love books! I like to collect books that I've enjoyed over the years and look at them on the shelf, like photographs to remind me of time well spent, and when I don't like a book, I can't discard it quickly enough. I am currently gravitating toward historical fiction and philosophical literature, with the occasional post-apocalyptic sci-fi or fantasy (NOT the ones from drawn-out, never-ending series) for variety. I really appreciate audiobooks whenever I'm doing mindless lab tasks, and will devour whatever cds I can borrow from my friends. My shelf contains most of what I've read (or listened to) recently (including a few not-so-favorites), plus a few odds and ends that I loved ages ago. Books I "own" are recent acquisitions (mostly second-hand) that I'm not quite committed to yet, but would welcome other readers' opinions on. « less
