Abridged Adventures

the succinct life and times of an unusual librarian

About Tine May 12, 2009

I’m a reader and a bit of a bibliophile, but as I have no money I’m basically a bibliophile wanna be. I read mostly fiction, and enjoy just about the entire gamut of genres. I’m a fan of being entertained, startled, and intrigued, but not boring or predictable.

I’ve been to art school and law school, but have an undergradutate degree in History of Art, and a graduate degree in Library and Information Science.

I enjoy art (both viewing and creating), watching films, eating, and the company of good friends. Epicurian, perhaps? Oh yeah, and in case you didn’t get it already, I enjoy 50 cent words, and being amusing.

Some words I live by:

1. “When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes.” ~ Erasmus

2. The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars…” ~ Kerouac

3. The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenly, divenly aware.” ~ Miller
