About meMy Library at LibraryThing

About my libraryI am a solicitor so even at work I am surrounded by books (but mostly boring ones). The lady with me in the photograph is my fiance, Sukanya, who is Thai born and tolerates my bibliophilia (just). Like most bibliophiles I have very eclectic tastes ranging from literature through to history, philosophy, poetry, criticism. My favourite authors are Conrad, Faulkner,Proust, Patrick O'Brian and PG Wodehouse. I now have a growing collection of Folio Society books. I also have a soft spot for some of the specialist supernatural fiction publishers such as Tartarus Press, Ash Tree Press and Arkham House.
