I guess it's sort of pointless to tell you all that I seriously love to read -- I can't imagine joining Shelfari for any other reason. My favorite authors include PG Wodehouse, Margaret Atwood, David Mitchell, Jane Austen, Bill Bryson, Jasper Fforde, Elizabeth Gaskell, Arturo Perez-Reverte, Josephine Tey, CS Lewis, Lauren Winner, Connie Willis, Marian Keyes, Haven Kimmel, and George Saunders, among many others.

Aside from reading, I spend my spare time taking walks, admiring Craftsman architecture, blogging, worrying about killer bees, playing Boggle, being artsy, loving everything British except for Marmite, hiking, being sarcastic, wondering about Big Questions, collecting ampersands, sitting in the sun, traveling, wishing I was in Scotland, cleaning my apartment, buying shoes, freelancing, organizing my books, eating my vegetables, watching Arrested Development, and making lists. « less
