About meEnglish teacher, living in Harrow, originally from Wales.
About my libraryA random selection of recent reading, tending towards the elegiac and plain maudlin. This goes for some of the rather reactionary 'cultural pessimist' stuff I seem to have taken to reading since hitting the buffers at 40. Who would have thought twenty years ago I would have been reading Eliot's essays, the Spectator or the New Criterion and nodding sadly in assent?
