 Self-portraits are hard! Especially without a remote. It took many attempts to get the focus right - I kept getting the books in sharp focus instead of me, but I finally I got the right DOF.

P.S. I love books.

I like this as it it tells the viewer a little about you. I like the choice of B&W and the lovely window lighting?

Good studious study. The image does invoke examination of the title. The look is stating the fact. Bump.

Excellent - very crisp eyes which really grab the viewer. Nice presentation and revelation of a part of yourself with the books as the backdrop.

I love this title! I also like the way you are looking up over the glasses as though you've just been caught reading and looked up from the book as the camera intruded.

"...yet all experience is an arch, wherethro' / gleams that untravel'd world, whose margin fades / forever and forever when I move..."

Extra point for using "Ulysses", and I forgive you for subbing "read" for "met" :-)
