"My national resources consist of two joints of marijuana millions of genitals an unpublishable private literature that jetplanes 1400 miles an hour and twentyfive-thousand mental institutions."

("America" by Allen Ginsberg, 1956)

Hello, fellow bibliophiles!

I'm a student at the Jewish Theological Seminary, a "dead" languages enthusiast, and a weekend bird-watcher. My taste in books is all over the place, but a few patterns have emerged over time: South American, Russian, and Irish literature; world history, especially the Middle Ages and the Renaissance; epic poems of bygone civilizations (for example, Beowulf and the Epic of Gilgamesh); Hebrew poetry (in particular, the Jewish poets of Spain); and a handful of Science-Fiction and Fantasy authors who are near and dear to me.

I'm here on LibraryThing in the hopes of connecting with like-minded people. I just purged my teenage book collection, from when "No" was not an acceptable answer to the possibility of acquiring a new book. Now is the perfect time for me to make an account of what's left.
