La mia biblioteca: This account is purely for the books I myself have read. I keep the "comments" section of my library in constant use, so if you want to know what I thought of anything, you don't even have to ask.

My list of "favorite authors" is highly selective. I don't add anyone until I've read multiple works by them and remained impressed. Exceptions: I'll add if I read the same work twice over or refuse if I have missed a critical part of the oeuvre (Beckett's prose, Miller's fiction).

I read literature (famous, forgotten, freakish or foreign - it's all of interest), history books, poetry, classic pulp, forgotten potboilers, literary criticism and can also handle philosophy in small doses.

Lastly, I don't like academics or any other people who suck the life and joy out of texts. I'm not going to read anything because of who wrote it or why - that is historical window dressing, good to know, but not a good reason to read. I do not adhere to a canon - I read from a sense of wonder and curiosity that is as likely to lead me to Sax Rohmer as Leo Tolstoy.
Informazione su di me: What's to say? Northern Minnesota, frozen hands in winter, chairs by the woodstove, living on a run-down farm that used to be a hippie commune back in the day; walks in the countryside, swamps, bats, mosquitos, vegetation and foliage, the driveway turning to soup when it rains; a library with a flagstone floor, a wall of CDs in my bedroom, six cats, exquisite skylines, falling leaves....

My impressions. I read, I listen, I observe. In addition, I write.
