About me39 year old, rather unconventional, book inhaler with a bottomless thirst for knowledge, understanding, and perspective. An avid people watcher by nature, I enjoy exploring what people think, how they think, and why. Along the way I learn something about them, the topic/situation, humanity, and life itself. Books not only offer us valuable insight in the form of information and perspective, but they also provide us with working snapshots of the minds and spirits of their authors. Enjoyment of or agreement with, or lack thereof, with the topic, content, or author of any book should be distinguished from any potential constructive value it might possess. In general, a love of reading can be a significant tool in facilitating the broadening, strengthening, and deepening of the mind for the growth of the individual. People who like to read and think are definitely more interesting and enjoyable for me!

About my libraryI love investigating systems, researching and contemplating complex, interrelated puzzles. My library is largely non-fiction, primarily in the social science area. There is a sizable collection tagged "Mysticism" (and a related tag "Paranormal") as I am highly interested in "mythical scripts", mysticism, and the supernatural and how exactly such ideas relate both to external reality and to the cultures and thinking of mankind. In addition, my library also contains a good smattering of art, science, and foreign language. I have not read much fiction since my teenage days, but there are a few splashes of fiction in the form of traditional classics, political & philosophical classics, poetry, and plays. There are a few multiples in my library, mainly different translations and revised editions. Items tagged "Phantom Item?" do not seem to currently exist in my library. Most such phantom items were probably mistakenly mass imported from Amazon based on my interests and I will decide what to do with them as the mystery unravels. As of mid July 2007, I have managed to catalog a slim portion of library, the portion closest to my computer. The remainder shall be a far slower process.
