About meEr...I work for a Federal Law Enforcement Agency in my civilian role; I hold a Reserve commission as a US Army Captain. Served in the Iraq War. Married, two great kids.
About my libraryRather eclectic (or eccentric) reflecting my love of military history, early 20th century thrillers, Lovecraftian Horror, and semi-decent science fiction. I love horror, adventure literature, and anything that allows me to get away from reality. Interesting thing about this project is that I had previously estimated that I owned about 2,000 books. After entering everything I own, I'm only a little over a thousand.
A major portion of my collection is nothing but military history, strategic studies, tactical works, et cetera. One of my more expensive hobbies is to collect tactics textbooks from the early part of this century. I find it fascinating to see how tactics and doctrine have evolved over the past hundred years.
My current reading interests are the pulps--Doc Savage, Operator #5, Fu Manchu, et cetera. great fun, and most are available in quality reprints.
