About meI'm a graduate student in philosophy at Balliol College, Oxford.

About my libraryHaving reached the mark of 3,000 volumes, I'm adopting a rigorous “one book in, one book out” policy.* Whenever I want to add an item to my collection, I must sell or give away an existing book first. As a fair amount of rubbish has accumulated over the years, I don't expect this policy to limit my ability to acquire new material any time soon.

*It is sometimes said that such a policy was originally proposed by Samuel Johnson, but there appears to be no evidence backing this claim. (Thanks to Jerry Morris for helpful feedback.)
