I Read...

I love reading. My degree was in English Literature, and my favourite part was my dissertation on the role of the gentleman in nineteenth century literature. Some (but not all) of my favourite books are The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, Emma by Jane Austen, Little Women by Lousia May Alcott and The Secrets of Jin-Shei by Alma Alexander.
