Name:

About:
I founded Not About The
Buildings in 2006, but for some terrible reason haven't finished a book
in two months. I'm hoping to change that by signing myself up
for
the Read-a-Thon, because PEOPLE ARE WATCHING.
Literary Interests:
Teen novels, the
gays, pop music history/criticism, and bleak Scandinavian crime fiction.
Sponsors: 10 ($14.75 per book)
Books Read: Laura Amy Schlitz, The Drowned Maiden's Hair: A Melodrama;
Sebastien Japrisot, The Sleeping-Car
Murders; Jonah Lehrer, Proust
Was A Neuroscientist; Anthony Burgess, The Wanting Seed; Maj Sjowall and
Per Wahloo, The Abominable Man;
Beryl Bainbridge, Young Adolf;
John Niven, Kill Your Friends
