About meI do say, ahem:

For him that stealeth a book from this library, let it change into a serpent in his hand and rend him. Let him be struck by palsy & all his members blasted. Let him languish in pain, crying aloud for mercy & let there be no surcease for his agony until he sink to dissolution. Let bookworms gnaw his entrails in token of the worm that dieth not, & when at last he goeth to his final punishment let the flames of hell consume him for ever & aye.

—A medieval curse from monastery of San Pedro, Barcelona (attributed)

About my libraryMy library is a bit of a dragon's hoard, and all the books contained therein are greatly beloved. I do keep a second LT account, noneofthis, where I can record reviews of books I do not actually own; and a third account, nonsense, of books which I intend to disperse to new homes. Eventually.
