Over mijn bibliotheek: I'm including all books I read, even if I don't buy them since I've set a personal goal of reading 75 books in 2006. (All these will be tagged with 2006.)

All books I own have an "own" tag. Most of my ratings will be pretty kind, because I only buy books worth buying. Those books I read (most of my 2006 bunch) may score worse, though if they rate well they have a good chance of getting into the permanent collection.

It's going to take a while to get everything on there, since most of my books are in boxes right now.
Over mij: I'm an attorney, yes, but I'm a reader first. I've been a die-hard since I was about 10. My first loves are classics but lately I've been very interested in modern stuff, mostly literature but some occasional fluff, too. I should read more non-fiction. Working on it.

My All-Time Favorite Authors: Thomas Hardy, William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, Jane Austen, Victor Hugo, Vladimir Nabokov, Leo Tolstoy, James Joyce, Graham Greene, J. D. Salinger.

Authors I enjoy and want to read more of: Salman Rushdie, Bret Easton Ellis, Francine Prose, David Mitchell, Tom Wolfe, Kurt Vonnegut, Ford Madox Ford, Kazuo Ishiguro, Margaret Atwood, T. C. Boyle, Kate Atkinson, David Benioff, Tobias Wolff, D. H. Lawrence, Paul Auster, Philip Roth, Jonathan Lethem, James M. Cain, Mary McCarthy, Eudora Welty, Saul Bellow.

Authors Who I Like Who I Wish Would Write More So I Could Read More Of Them: Michael Chabon, Donna Tartt, Glen David Gold, Augusten Burroughs, Jhumpa Lahiri.
