I must be a neuroscientist! In the old days before PET and fMRI I was a neuropsychologist but that doesn’t sound sciency enough. #neuroscience

Less awkward introduction than Hi I'm...

Austerlitz by W. G. Sebald

All the names by José Saramago

All about love by bell hooks
Introduce yourself with three books you love.

Gravity's Rainbow - Thomas Pynchon

Ardor - Roberto Calasso

The Book of the New Sun - Gene Wolfe
Introduce yourself with three books you love!

Definitely going with the "first three that come to mind" model here (or else I'd just keep hitting mental 'refresh' ad infinitum)

Mother Night - Kurt Vonnegut

Ill Fares the Land - Tony Judt

The Baron in the Trees - Italo Calvino

This is ideal for my first post here.
Next week is apparently Sea Otter Awareness Week, so remember: If you sea otter, say otter.
