About me

I'm apparently Prufrock and Other Observations
by T.S. Eliot
Though you are very short and often overshadowed, your voice is poetic
and lyrical. Dark and brooding, you see the world as a hopeless effort of people trying
to impress other people. Though you make reference to almost everything, you've really
heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons.

The dark, brooding, and coffee spoons parts, at least.

About my libraryThis library is a combination of my and my wife's books, which is why you'll find both the complete works of Samuel Beckett and a bunch of knitting books.
