I have never felt like I have been a part of any sort of social order, be it a school, church, neighborhood, club, a group of friends, or even my own family. Perhaps this is because, not only am I anti-social, but I am a collector: a collector of ideas and passions. My collection is ever changing and ever contradictory.

My family has a deep background in books, my father being a collector, and my mother working at a library. My father loves books, in every way I can think of.
