I'm a 30 yr old family man whose half way through his PhD candidature in English and Comparative Literature at Murdoch University. I've always been an ardent fantasy and science fiction fan, but a painfully slow reader so there's always something new and exciting to read. Some of my favourite authors include Joseph Conrad, Steven Erikson, William Gibson, Stephen Lawhead, Ursula K. Le Guin, Paul Auster, C.S. Lewis, M. John Harrison, China Miéville, Steph Swainston, Jeff VanderMeer and J.G. Ballard. I also publish film reviews and the occasional book review on my blog - http://www.aruminatingghost.webs.com/

About my Shelfari shelf - I own everything I've listed and tried to add the edition I actually have. I try to avoid making wishlists of books because there's so many I want to read, so only adding what I own helps keeps my shelf manageable. « less
