Self-Portrait in Books
4:42 pm August 24th, 2009As a sort of self-portrait, I decided to stack up and photograph all the books I have in my house that I’ve read for the first time since moving here (in August 2006, so this is just about 3 years of reading).

As I suspected, I’ve been reading a lot more nonfiction than fiction, even when you count Gravity’s Rainbow.
