Über meine Bibliothek

Browsing other people's books is quite joyless as it turns out- you people with your thousands of books! So I'll point out that I'm only 19, practically brand-new, and have only been alive and collecting for so long. Additionally, most of my library is comprised of books bought/received when I was adolescent. It turns out you don't get as many presents when you get older :(

Über mich
Currently reading: Gogol

I live in London- my favourite bookshop is Daunt Books (www.dauntbooks.co.uk) where they organise books by country.

I love book design (see http://covers.fwis.com/ for the best collection of book covers on the web) and the look and feel of a book are huge factors what I purchase. Also- the colour of the spine, since I organised my books by colour. Apparently I don't have enough green books.

I'm stony broke at the moment, so my wishlist just keeps getting bigger. If anyone is feeling particularly generous, get in contact and I'll point you to my Amazon wishlist. What with Doctor Who boxsets it'll cost you upwards of £400...which is a drop in the ocean, and you'll have made a friend for life.
