I’m learning to cook and am addicted to truffles. I read at least a book a week, thinks maps are the most beautiful art man has made, and survive each workweek by planning my next trip.

Be sure to check out KatieHammel’s Matador profile.

Favorite books: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Unaccustomed Earth, The Time Traveler’s Wife

    I loved the Time Traveler’s Wife (aren’t they making a movie of it? Pity…).

    In the middle of reading Pygmy by Chuck Palahniuk…not sure how this one slipped under my radar, but it’s a great read so far.

    Right there with you on The Time Traveler’s Wife. Who’d have thought I’d enjoy a book about a time traveling, running, well-read, badass librarian with a doting wife? Such a stretch.

    I love J.S. Foer!
    “Extremely loud and Incredibly close” is one of my all time favourites.
    I will look at the other two now.
