I'm an avid reader who has spent many years reading mostly literature. In the last two years, I have dove head first into science fiction. Since I have a M.S. in marine biology, I tend to be able to follow and understand even the more technical sci-fi books. I like to own my books and enjoy finding out of print novels at used book stores. As of 2008, I own around 800 books with more than half of those being unread. I recently have compiled a book list for friends that I could share with you in the future. On my shelf, those that have a starred review have been read, while those blank are owned but unread. I'm working on it though, and within a year or so, I should be half way there. « less
