I currently live in Northern NJ (NOT the Jersey Shore) and teach English at a small-ish university (along with a handful of other part-time jobs to finance my adjunct-ing). I have a commonplacebook/blog, Bas bleu, and I also tweet and have a Goodreads account. (And here's my 2010 reading list on Goodreads). Let's be internet friends! Some of my favorite books (if you're still looking for recommendations) are The Idiot by Dostoevsky, Candide by Voltaire, and Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor.
