A "Bukowski Made Me a Criminal" Lookshelf

1) Who are you and where are you?
I’m Jan-A, I live in Seoul, Korea
 
 2) What do you do for work?
17 years ago, I became a student.
8 years ago, I was a student.
6 years ago, I was a student.
blah blah blah..
last year, I was a student. and now I'm a student.
 
I'm kind of fed up with being a student. Seriously I want something else but being a student.
 
3) What do you do for fun?
For fun? …. Hmmmmmmm….
I dance! I mean I dance in the room listening to MP3.
I read books, watch movie and dramas (like True blood, the big bang theory..etc) ,listen to music, take photograph, and swim.
 
4) Tell me something about your bookshelves.
I have two houses (Actually both of them are not mine, let’s say I live in two houses.) One of them is my parent’s, and the other is my friend’s. This bookshelf used to be full of my friend’s book. One day, I fought with him for this space and it was very terrible. Anyway, now the lower part of the bookshelf is mine! ;)
 
5) Tell me something about ONE of the books on your shelf.
Honestly, I stole a Bukowski’s poem from the college library. 7 days before on my graduation day, one of my friends who worked as a school librarian told me how easy it is to steal books from the library. So I decided to steal one, just one. I thought the college that my parents poured so much money in didn’t do anything for me. It just ate up all that money. (kind of my justification). And It basically didn’t give me anything.

So I just took one book thinking the book was the first, last gift that the college gives to me.
 
But more than all, I would say love for Bukowski made me be a criminal!

A "Majoring In All Kinds Of Awesome" Lookshelf

1) Who are you and where are you?
 
My name is Hannahbeth and I live in South Bend, IN.
 
2) What do you do for work?
 
I'm a student at a Liberal Arts College, majoring in all kinds of awesome. Humanistic Studies, interdisciplinary studies in literature, cultural history, philosophy, art history and more. I also have a hybrid major in digital media, dance arts and women's studies. That involves a lot of putting theory into performance. I'm still learning.
 
3) What do you do for fun?
 
I'm definitely a read-fourteen-books-at-once kind of person. You can usually find me dancing around ... anywhere. I'm currently recovering from an obsession with BSG and am drawn to most things scifi. I'm also exploring the crafting and sculpture world right now.
 
4) Tell me something about your bookshelves.
 
These shelves collapse! They are meant to be able to pack easily and have seen at least 7 different rooms. The top shelf is fun reading and the second shelf is Humanistic Studies (school) stuff.
 
5) Tell me something about ONE of the books on your shelf.
 
The book with no title - top left with the praying mantis-looking thing, that is The Principles of Uncertainty by Maira Kalman. It is an illustrated year of her life. Beautiful and poignant.
