i'm an english major cause that's all i'm really good at...well, actually, 
i'm damned good at biology, but you have to take a lot of math to get a 
degree in that and i suck at math, so...but books are my first love.  i've 
been reading since iwas 3 years old...i remember when i was 5 and 
discovered nancy drew and the bobbsey twins.  i was in heaven...i went 
through a nother epiphany of that sort when i was in high school
and discovered sci fi...especially robert heinlein.  it's kind of funny 
tho...my reading is really varied...i don't have a lot of depth in any one 
area...i've read a medieval stuff, renaissance stuff, the romantics, yeats 
(of course), and a lot of genre writing...i managed to completely skip the 
enlightenment ad the victorians...the thing about my interest in sci fi is 
weird tho...i always hated it until i was in 9th grade and we were camping 
one weekend, and it was raining, and i had finished all the books i had 
brought with me (jean auel books if i remember right).  the only thing 
left to read was some sci fi that my dad was reading.  so i read it (cause 
if i get bored enough i'll read anything) and was hooked....
