Acerca de míI'm a one time Classics Professor turned Stay-at-Home Mom/Lady of Leisure. I have a great love for books, naturally, and also lists. Lists of books are right up there for me (I have more than a few books that are lists of books, and I have a feeling that I'm not alone in this here). I have to admit that I'm a bit shy about becoming 'public.' I'm nervous about others looking at my books - is that weird? Anyway, I also love sewing and knitting, watching bad B-horror films, and I quite enjoy teaching as well. However, I'm not fond of talking about myself, so I'll just end this here.

What I'm Reading Now:
-Lud-in-the-Mist (Green Dragon 1001 Fantasy Books)
-The Mystery of the Yellow Room (1001 Children's Books)
-Wolfsong (romance list)
-Winter's Tale (audiobook)
-The House in the Cerulean Sea (family bedtime read-aloud)
-The Poisonwood Bible (books I'm reading with my friend, Rob)
-In the Spirit of Crazy Horse (100 Banned Books)
-The Hunger Games (reread)

Books on Deck:
-Wheels within Wheels (Prometheus Award)
-More Fool Me (Fry bibliography)
-Les Miserables (books by year - 1862)
-(an unread book from my shelves)
-(a book from my Read Soon! shelves)
-The World of Tibetan Buddhism (Buddhist reading list)
-Death in the Stacks (cozy mysteries)
-Richard III (Shakespeare re-read)
-The Group (100 Banned Books)

In addition to these, I have some classics-related texts that I'm working through (quite slowly):
-Asinaria by Plautus (reading in Latin)
-Iliad by Homer (reading in Greek)
-Latin Literature by Gian Biagio Conte
-The Cambridge History of Classical Literature Volume 1 Part 1

Acerca de mi bibliotecaThis catalog includes both my books and my husband's, which explains the science/humanities mix. As much as I'd like to claim polymath status, those physics books nearly got tagged under 'magic', since that's my general assessment of their contents (For example, here's an actual snippet of conversation between my husband and me: "How do you think magnets work?" My answer: "Magic?").
