About me I'm a high school History/English teacher living in the Canadian north. My family always had books as I grew up, my father being a voracious reader of history and westerns, and I naturally fell into the pattern, though I missed on the love of dusters.

About my library I've been collecting and coveting books for most of my life and still have many that I've had since I was a teenager. Most of my non-fiction library is ancient and medieval history with a bit of natural history thrown in for good measure. I used to read a great number of fantasy novels, of which I've kept a significant number - the reasonably good ones. I still have a weakness for hard science fiction and a love of historical novels.

I'm about a quarter of the way through tagging my books at this point.

Heigh ho, me hearty! I see you have a copy of “A Pirate of Exquisite Mind” in your library. The Highly-Rated Book Group is boarding the Pirate Ship of William Dampier and heading off into the high seas for a rollicking Buccaneering Adventure in the wild blue yonder. We are splicing the main brace and trimming the sails to set off with the tide on 3rd November 2008. So don’t be a landlubber, come and swash some buckles by climbing on board at:
