Tietoja minusta I toil away daily (for 6 years now, no less) running the stock room of a major and slightly evil bookstore. No points for guessing which one. (Hint: It starts with a "B" and is otherwise referred to as the "Death Star of Bookselling". Not even too ashamed of it. Job's a job, and hey! I like books.) Luckily, I share that space with a number of long-suffering book fanatics and have also parlayed my experience doing so into 1) carte blanche, just my style and 2) unparalleled arrogance directed towards making it what I respect in a bookstore. Which means lots of blatant insubordination and telling bosses they're wrong as tactlessly as possible.

In addition to amassing books, I also tend to obsess over music. Symptoms of this are on display at the insular Music Babble message board or over on Rate Your Music. Should be a link below somewhere.

Tietoja kirjastostani Currently reading: William Kennedy's Legs.

I could use this space to pretentiously rant on and on about how varied my interests are, so in the interest of pith here goes: literary fiction of the popular and more often not variety, experimental and post-modern fiction, history, music.

It takes so damned long to read a book nowadays. I've enjoyed, mostly or in part, all of the recent books I've read and the book I'm currently reading, so why don't I feel like reading at all? Feh!

Most people think I'm a complete freak because I'm completely incapable of actually deciding what to read next. So, I write all my unread books on little scraps of paper, throw them in a large envelope, and pick them at random.

This is all stuff I actually currently own, much to my own chagrin. I can't help it - I find books cheap, I stockpile them for when I'll eventually get to them. In the past year and a half, I believe I've bought 4 books at list price. All the rest have been remaindered or used.
