Bio:
I have a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in English Literature and a minor in psychology. I also have a Graduate Diploma of Library Science. I have lived in three cities (Townsville, Brisbane, Armidale) in two different states (Queensland, New South Wales) in Australia, though I have never traveled overseas. I would like to visit the United Kingdom but I doubt I will ever get there.

I am interested in any fiction depicting 'real life' because it makes me think about what I do and how I live.

I particularly like teenage fiction as I am interested in the 'turning of age' experience.

I am also particularly interested in gay literature: both 'turning of age' stories and those centered around adults.

For a complete change of perspective my little home library also has some science fiction, fantasy and horror in it. I like those kinds of fiction because they help me escape from the hard rigors of life for a while, and also they encourage a little heroism in me (a trait I sadly lack).

I also enjoy crime/spy/mystery novels to add a bit of excitement and intrigue to a quite life.

For non-fiction I love serious psychology and also a little philosophy, Eastern religion and politics.

I like basically any music although I don't have a lot of time to listen these days.
