Hi, it's Ben. I'm an avid reader and collector of books, with a special interest in contemporary North American and Latin American writers. I have a job that I hate, although it allows me to pursue my outside hobbies. I'm still trying to figure out how Wikipedia works, but that's only because I'm not all that computer savvy. Feel free to say hi.
