About meA postmodern tweaker technophile lit-geek working for the libraries of academia.

About my libraryI studied medieval literature at the University of Virginia which should probably explain most of my books. For the rest, there is little explanation. Suggestions are always appreciated.

You are most welcome. It's a rather wild group, compared to the rest of LT, that is.

Happy Birthday! You know, if you were part of the Green Dragon Group, you'd get a whole thread devoted to you along with a full-color photograph of some amazing birthday cake!

I hope you have a great day and a wonderful year ahead of you.

thanks for posting the anthropological video on friendfeed. I enjoyed watching the presentation and was amazed at the fluidity of the graphics. Have any idea what software he used to create/present the visual content?

Hey thanks for finding my library. It's slowly growing. Apollo has taken over, of course. I like it here.

Another medieval lit scholar! I attended University of Richmond, myself, but I'll give University of VA a nod! Did you study Greek mythology as well (saw some pop up in your library list)? Found it was a huge aid in supporting the medieval lit - especially by the time I got to Spenser, Milton and other such authors.

With pleasure, my friend, with pleasure.

Isn't it sad, how you have fewer books than you thought? I was so sure I'd clock in around two thousand, or four million, or something like that.
