I haven’t even read everything I’ve bought …
 

















You may follow this link to add your own comment, but here’s what another World Bri’ed visitor had to say


AutoBRIography  •  Statistics, Etc.  •  Philosophy  •  CD’s  •  DVD’s  •  Books

There once was a time when it occurred to me that it is much cooler to own a book collection than constantly to borrow books from the library.  This still occurs to me, and it is for this reason that I buy books rather than borrowing them.  And here is the collection thus far to prove it.

It is ever-growing, as I enjoy having a decent income for the purpose, a Barnes & Noble Readers’ Advantage discount card, and a barrage of B&N locations from which to choose!  Books are cool.  READ!!!

If you would like to learn more about me, my musical career, and my contributions to the world, please be sure NOT to visit your local, public library; as you surely will not find anything about me there.

If you would like to see pictures of me meeting Terry Pratchett, visit this page.  Coming soon, the page that will chronicle my meeting of Neil Gaiman!
