- A propos de ma bibliothèque
- I'm interested in just about anything with words. I have a weakness for fantasy or anything with a fairy tale feel to it, or anything with a feminist angle or that relates to mythology and witchcraft. As far as fiction, I'm also a big fan of the classics much more than most new fiction.
I adored Carol J. Adams' The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory. One book I think everyone should read is The Autobiography of Malcolm X.
Some of my favourite works of fiction are Amy Tan's The Kitchen God's Wife and The Joy Luck Club, Alice Walker's The Color Purple and The Temple of My Familiar, Kate Chopin's The Awakening, Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper, and Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, in addition to things like The Lord of the Rings (and all related materials) and the Harry Potter series.
I also really enjoy books about trees, such as Ancient Trees: Trees That Live for 1000 Years by Anna Lewington and Remarkable Trees of the World by Thomas Pakenham. Books about language, punctuation, grammar, and writing are fun for me too, especially Eats, Shoots, and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss. And finally, I enjoy reading books about death and dead bodies, especially Mary Roach's Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. - A propos de moi
- Introvert with a strong attachment to trees, the element of water, and the moon, and whose primary passions are books, libraries, feminism, photography, and films.
Unlike most people I tend to meet, I don't enjoy going to parties, I don't enjoy getting drunk, and I would rather be alone with a book than go out to hang around with big crowds of noisy strangers. Really, my idea of "a fun night out" actually involves staying in with a book and a movie, or possibly taking a trip to the library or a long walk through several of the area parks. I'm a dreamer and live inside my own imagination a lot of the time. - Lieu (géographique)
