About meI teach high school social studies. I have a seemingly unlimited desire to learn about culture. I am curious about the effects of race, war and Imperialism on culture. I spend a great deal of time working on WikiSCUM, which documents the history of underground music in Santa Cruz, California.

I enjoy baseball, the Beatles, Beethoven, punk movements, poetry and birding. Dada, Freud, nature and Surrealism keep me up at night.

About my libraryIt's taken 20 years to get my library almost right. Now I am in the process of adding everything to library thing. A few dozen books a day, and I'll be done by Thanksgiving (2008). I am also adding to each book which bookcase its in and which shelf its on, or what box its in.

I give most of my books five stars. Why would I keep any book that I thought was only 3 stars?

I am also adding my wife's books to this account.
