About meI'm 28 years old and just moved to North Carolina to be with my fiancee Amber. I have varied interests from competitive bbqing to paleontology, mountain biking to magic. I love to read, mysteries and spy thrillers are my favorites. Especially the hardboiled noir classics, as well as the adventure novels like Clive Cussler's series. I love books, and think of bookstores and libraries as holy ground.

About my libraryI inherited a collection of paleontology books from some dear friends and am currently working through them. I also have an interest in history, specifically American and Nautical (Pirates are a plus!) Sci Fi, mysteries, action, espionage, is where I tend to like my fiction. My fiancee thinks I'm weird because I prefer non-fiction. I absolutely love cookbooks!
