*laugh* well, everyone else has pretty much stated the reasons why I added you. :) I've read your books, I found your LJ through Pamela Dean's via Melymbrosia's while I was also doing a sort of mild author-stalk of authors I like. I keep reading because, as others agree, you are interesting, you link to interesting things, and I like reading about the process of writing as you live it. As a wannabee-writer myself without the apparent do-it-or-die switch on, I find your journal to be very down-to-earth and intelligent. :)
