About meMid-forties lawyer, all-round dilettante, shameless and unapologetic bibliophage.

About my library 
What about it? All kinds of things there and I need them all.

Books to the ceiling.
Books to the sky.
My pile of books is one mile high.
How I love them!
How I need them!
I’ll have a long beard by the time I read them ...

And hey, this isn’t a complete list ... just a small selection of stuff I’ve got around to cataloging. And that isn't a complete list of favorite authors either, before you ask.

Why books? Because, as Heinrich Heine said, wherever they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings too.
