I am a teacher/librarian whose hobbies include learning about herpetology and oceanography. Books are my passion because I am interested in so many different things and consider education as a never-ending facet of life. I love reading and creative writing, although there never seems to be enough time in the day for all the stories that are on my list. I especially enjoy American literature and collecting rare books.

Favorite poet: Sara Teasdale.
Favorite fiction novel: Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe.
Favorite movie: Dead Poet's Society.
Favorite non-fiction work: Walden by Henry David Thoreau.
Favorite quotable author: Mark Twain

the list could go on and on...
