Personal Profile

I saw some of you made real profiles, so I decided to be neighborly and join in.
I recently completed UAH's program for the Master of Arts in English. My course work is done and my thesis defended, but I'll only officially graduate in May. I did my BA at the University of North Alabama, which is in Florence. My majors were English and history and I think I liked both of them because I've always loved stories. In between, I bummed around for a few years, part of which I spent working in the local screw factory. Okay, okay, I worked in the office doing tech writing, but that doesn't sound nearly as fun, does it? My favorite movie grin is The Lion in Winter, the 1968 version with Hepburn and O'Toole. Before I saw that movie, I could never understand how people could have one favorite movie. Or one favorite book for that matter. I still don't have a favorite book, but here's what I'm reading now and have read recently (not including the texts for our class, of course):
Ahab's Wife, Sena Jeter Naslund
Abundance: A Novel of Marie Antoinette, Sena Jeter Naslund
Making Money, Terry Pratchett
Good Omens, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & the Olympians series
Stephanie Meyer's Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse
