Yes, I know I just consolidated all my blogs and shouldn't be starting yet another one, but I couldn't help it. You see, I love books. I love them a lot. And while I do talk about books on here from time to time, it's not frequent ...
It's always a little weird returning to real life after the holidays. Except in this case, it's only a temporary return for a few days before we're plunged into yet another holiday. And I'm cool with that. (As a student, I used to bemoan the fact that ...
I collect books. Lots of them. 1,098 of them, to be exact -- most of them stashed on shelves in my apartment, with forty or so on my desk at work because I've run out of room. I've been collecting them pretty much all my life, ever since as ...

I want to be Stargirl.
No, no, no, I don't want to be a girl. Sure, I like girls, but I like being a boy. What I mean is that Jerry Spinelli's character Stargirl (in the novel of the same name) is so compellingly selfless that it blew me ...
I love books. I love love love love love love love books.
This morning I walked amongst my bookshelves while eating breakfast, and it felt oh so good just to be near the books. I get so caught up with everything going on in my life that I often forget that ...
This one's a companion piece to my last post. Twice in the last little while I've mentioned what attracts me to a girl -- cardigans and Macs being the posts of mention -- and I figured I really ought to close off this mini trilogy with the criterion ...
