We do not take a trip; a trip takes us - John Steinbeck

A little about me:
I'm 28 years old and live in Southampton, UK with my husband and our three cats. I'm a scientist, I love books (obviously), films, cats, bears, photography, bear photography, travelling, food, red wine, real ale, Woody Allen movies, jazz, impressionist art and Bob Dylan songs.

Genres of books I like: dystopian, biographies, travel, classics, some sci-fi, some fantasy.

Genres of books I don't like: chick-lit, celeb memoirs.

My wishlist is up to date! Any titles wished for years ago are still wanted...

I'm currently working on the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die (2006 Ed) but have a LONG way to go yet...92 books read and counting!

I always have more than one book on the go, currently I'm reading:
Agnes Grey, Anne Bronte
Dead Babies, Martin Amis
Bad Science, Ben Goldacre
South: the story of Shackleton's 1914-1917, Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton
A Game of Thrones, George R. R. Martin
