La mia biblioteca

Eclectic! I read a wide variety of books, from novels to non-fiction, and always have strong opinion about what I've read. One can appreciate Herman Melville one night and enjoy a trashy romance novel the next - I see no obvious contradiction.

Informazione su di me

Profile under construction! So many books, so much distraction! Ah yes, and because of a flub on my part, most of my books are incorrectly categorized. I hope to have that straightened out... eventually.

The name's Marie, and I an a young lawyer currently living in San Jose, California. I have a BS in Honors English Literature and a strong background in the medical sciences, particularly chemistry and laboratory techniques.

My reading style, like my collection itself, leans towards the eclectic. I have "moods" with my reading - first a few weeks of biographies, then I might be in the mood for classical fiction, then perhaps even a jaunt into my absolute favorites, the Jane Austen continuations and sequels. I especially love reading terrible popular books so I can ruthlessly mock them.

I wrote my 100+ page collegiate senior thesis on Pride and Prejudice adaptions, and admit to something of a addiction. Both good and bad, I try to read them all just as fast as they come out.

I also have a noted fondness for specific-histories, with a particular interest in the histories of specific food products. But really, there's nothing I will refuse to read - even fantasy and romance pique my interest once in a while. I especially love recommendations!
