Bio
I grew up in PA, went to North Carolina for college (UNC) worked in D.C, moved to Boston for grad school (MIT), spent a year working in NJ before finally moving to the City that Never Sleeps last year.

I'm a bit of a bluestocking; I read constantly. My non-fiction interests are cognitive science/linguistics and medicine (I know I'll never want to be a doctor, but I am absolutely fascinated by the inner workings of the human body, what can go wrong with it, and how we are learning to put it right) and almost any science-y topic. My fiction is somewhat harder to describe; I remember telling a librarian in frustration once when she asked if I wanted a mystery, a fantasy, or a horror book that I just wanted "a good book. That tells a story well. Why is there no category for that?" I love discovering a novel on my own in a library or used bookstore, without recommendation from anyone - I feel like I have discovered a treasure.

I also love travel, although I haven't taken as many trips lately as I used to. I do consider the fact that I've lived in five states since the year 2000 a form of "slow tourism" in itself, though.

As for music, I like to listen to just about anything tuneful - musicals are my first love, but I love almost everything from the '60s, and am now amassing a neat collection of '30's and '40's swing/jazz music - I love Fred Astaire and Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holliday!
