About meI live in Hertfordshire, England. After specialising in Latin, Greek and Ancient History at school, I graduated in Modern History from Durham University and then worked for over 30 years in Banking in the City of London. However, I now think that I would have been much more fulfilled if I had become an archivist or librarian.
About my libraryI have loved books for as long as I can remember, both for their content and also as beautiful objects in their own right. I believe that if a book is worth reading it's worth owning and consequently my library continues to expand in inverse proportion to my wallet. The books now number around 5000 and recently had to move to a shed at the bottom of the garden, allowing my wife and I to continue living in the house.
The library is divided roughly 50/50 between fiction and non-fiction. Much of the non-fiction consists of History (both ancient and modern) and literary matters. I am currently cataloguing on LT and am still in the low hundreds. At present it looks as though I am obsessed with Ancient History. In the next few weeks (months?) it will appear that I am also fixated on religion, as I catalogue the fruits of one of my special interests, collecting different editions and versions of the Bible (despite not being particularly religious). However, as more books are added, a more balanced picture will emerge.
