My Bookshelf
Here's just some general stats. As much as I love to read, I'm a bit of a slow reader, so my goals are always modest. Also, I track all my books on Librarything which goes into more detail.
I like most of what I read, but I particularly enjoy "classic" literature. I'm always looking to expand my horizons.
Currently Reading:
- Robert Pirsig's translation of The Inferno of Dante
- Herman Melville, Moby-Dick (on pause?)
