4) Tell me something about your bookshelves.

I have four very full bookshelves in my apartment that are bright turquoise with yellow piping - my dad made them and I painted them. My book collection is heavy on academic tomes about media, culture, sex, race, gender, and class (BA + MA), but in the last two years I’ve started to mix it up with more fiction and random stuff that strikes my fancy, since I am done with school and don’t have a reading list anymore.

5) Tell me something about ONE of the books on your shelf.

My parents live near a used book store where they are constantly buying giant piles of books. Any time they see something about sex, they get it for me. The Sexual Life of Savages is one of those books.
