I love hunting for, buying, reading, touching, smelling and seeing books pile up on my shelves...so bookcrossing is a kind of habit I'll have to learn. But I even more love the idea of a book travelling around the world, being hunted and found by other curious hands, and finding its way in more people's hearts.
Also, I know that my wishlist of books to read is so long that I'll never get round to buy & keep all of them.....and libraries here aren't enough to satisfy my hunger. So bookcrossing comes very handy!
I like so many different kinds of books, literature, poetry, science fiction, horror, music, etc... I usually fall in love with an author and end up reading everything by him/her... My biggest loves in no special order: Jeanette Winterson, Ursula LeGuin, Salman Rushdie, Dave Eggers, Laurell K. Hamilton, Ray Bradbury, Emily Dickinson, Fedor Dostoevskij, Neil Gaiman, Virginia Woolf....

I'm willing to trade all over the world, so PM me if you see anything you like in my Available list.

I keep my wishlist here in bc.com up to date. I also have a wishlist at Cliff's great site (thanks for your work!) but that might not be up to date.
I also added my address to RABCK.COM. Thanks to them as well! PLEASE NOTE that I always keep my address (and wishes) up to date!
