Om meg My current goals in life are to become a medieval historian and to read as many books as possible. I've been reading since I was five and haven't stopped since.
I have recently graduated from Brandeis University with a BA in History and English and American literature, with a minor in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. I also wrote a senior thesis based on Richard III's relationship with the north of England, largely during his time as Duke of Gloucester, and why he managed to hold the affection of the north (particularly York). In the fall I will be attending the University of York to pursue my MA in Medieval Studies.
Other than reading, I enjoy playing video games, watching films, cooking, and traveling. I don't enjoy shopping (except in bookstores), running, or cleaning.
Currently Reading:
Passions and Tempers, Noga Arikha
The Power Makers, Maury Klein
Recently Read:
Like Water for Chocolate, Laura Esquivel
Midnight's Children, Salman Rushdie
Garden Spells, Sarah Addison Allen
Midwife of the Blue Ridge, Christine Blevins

Om biblioteket mitt I have a strange mix of books in my library, and not all of them reflect my current interests. When I was younger I read a lot of romance, but now I read more historical fiction, plain old history, classics, and fantasy than anything else.
I have started adding borrowed books to my catalog under the tag "borrowed" (appropriately) in anticipation of the collections feature and so I don't forget them before that happens! I own everything except for those specifically tagged books.

I am very interested in classical history. I love to study any ancient civilization (Greece, Rome, Egypt, Mayan, etc). The history from ancient to medieval times simply fascinates me, especially all of the construction projects they managed to build given the technology and tools they had.

As for Rutherfurd, I really enjoyed Sarum. Now, I've only read Sarum and The Forest, so of the two, I liked Sarum much better. The first half of Sarum is a lot better, in my opinion, than the last half. The first half focuses on ancient to medieval England, so maybe that's why I liked it more, but the characters also seemed more interesting. How far back does London start? Sarum begins in about 10,000 BC or so.

I just bought Kushiel's Dart today because it looked interesting. How do you like that series?

I haven't been to York, alas, although I'm sure I'd enjoy it. I did some traveling--spent a week in Scotland, a weekend in Bath, a weekend in Paris, and made a little trip into Wales. Each one its own little bit of heaven . . .
Almost all the history in my LT library is colonial/early American history; I have quite a few books I haven't entered yet, including, of course, the ancient, medieval, and Renaissance stuff. Most of those are probably from my college days, but the colonial material reflects a more recent interest in that period.
Aside from that, I obviously read a lot of fantasy and mystery books! (And like to cook.)
I entered graduate school (at UCLA) with five other hopeful medievalists; I believe only one of us survived in that program, although I think another one went to Cambridge. One guy became an accountant (!) and my best friend in the program studied international relations and economics, and now works for the government. I ended up in (mostly reference) publishing. Life is a funny old thing!
Good luck--having a good handle on languages is enormously important for medieval studies, as you already know.
Cheers,
Elizabeth

I had to add you to my interesting libraries list based on what you said in the thread about whether/how you shop in bricks & mortar bookstores--and then I came here and read your bio and really had to add you! Once upon a time, I also intended to study medieval history, but eventually realized I just didn't have the aptitude for languages that seemed necessary (especially Latin!). Fortunately, I remembered that I like my native language, so I ended up with a master's in English Literature ;-)
Good luck--your plans for your education sound very exciting! I was able to spend some time in Oxford (not as a student, but connected with my work) and I loved, loved, loved it.

I saw you on the Green Dragon group. I was looking under blogs for someone. When I came here I saw you were listening to Villette. It is one of my fav, how do you like it?

I really liked Lady of the Roses, so much so, that I ordered her other books right away! I think your library will give me a ton of ideas for the TBR pile (mine is quite large as well).

After reading your review of The Venetian Mask I popped over to check your library out. We seem to have some pretty similar tastes at times. Your major/minor sounds fascinating; good luck in school!
