Besides your exquisite selection of books that certainly classifies you as a very interesting person, I want to personally thank you for the first paragraph of your post. I feel exactly the same as you have described, uncomfortable to share such personal information, yet you have somehow done that without unnecessary exposing yourself, letting us know the facets of your life that should actually interest us and giving hope to the rest of us who still struggle with our introduction.
I am looking forward to reading more of your posts and comments. Thanks for sharing @nyarlathotep
