  <about><![CDATA[I love poetry, literature and non-fiction. Every summer I go on a diet of short stories. I like the literary, the mainstream, the experimental and the un-categorical. I'm not big on the incomprehensible, but the small incomprehensible can be good. I don't believe in god, but I'm interested in religion, too, mostly eastern and quakerism, which I grew up with. I like history, though mostly American, and long ago in another lifetime, I studied Chinese. I'm a Democrat. And a feminist. And a mother, wife and dog lover. Oh, and an ex-pat.

The lower-case i/I doesn't bother me one bit.

I trust the Booker more than the Pulitzer.

Regarding my shelves, I won't be listing all the instruction manuals,  young adult and children's books I've read unless there's something really important I want to say about them. Which I don't, mostly.

If you want to be-friend me, that's nice, but please do it for a reason other than upping your numbers. That's ridiculous.]]></about>      <hometown>Plainfield, NJ</hometown>
