About meSoftware engineer, Cantabrigian, dabbler in philosophy, religious studies, psychology and neuroscience. I'm becoming a pickier fiction reader as I age, but not with particular prejudices about time period or genre. I like British classics, contemporary stuff, science fiction, humor and satire, sad dramas. I belong to/host a bookclub, and I listen to audiobooks while I run errands.

About my libraryMy book tracking has gotten lax since I discovered that I can pick up free books at the recycling center a block away. Now there are stacks of unentered books on my floor.

I'm still tracking everything I actually read, though, and am pleased about the new Collections feature.
