Hello, world.

I'm Suzanne and, although I've been a member for a year and a half, have only recently started actively BXing.

I am a voracious reader and will try anything twice, although here are some specifics:

favorite genres- vampire fiction; graphic novels; science writing; plays; fantasy; sci-fi; beat literature; true crime; mysteries

favorite authors- James Joyce; Douglas Coupland; Warren Ellis; Eugene Ionesco; Hunter S. Thompson; Ann Rule; Philip K. Dick; Neil Gaiman; Tom Robbins; Poppy Z. Brite; Terry Pratchett; Franz Kafka; William S. Burroughs; Charles Bukowski; Allen Ginsberg; Marcel Proust; A.S. Byatt; Sue Grafton; e.e. cummings

In the real, non-literary world I am studying art history and activism at New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study and I love to play the violin, ride horses, and muckrake bleeding-heart liberal style.
