About meI'm a technical writer who occasionally moonlights as an academic. Academically, I'm an ex-medievalist who converted to early 20th-century literary history; I wrote my PhD thesis on the historiography of Imagism. I live by my mad XML skills.

I like cult fantasy TV, interactive fiction, walking, cooking and, of course, hunting for books.

About my libraryMostly secondhand (Oxfam is my favourite bookseller). At the moment, the working library for my PhD is a big chunk of the catalogue. I'm slowly unearthing and adding my older books.

As well as reference texts on Imagism, I collect first/interesting editions by or relating to the Imagist writer Richard Aldington.

The leisure reading portion of the library is mostly YA lit.

I'm about halfway through Sabriel now (my 'update when read' rule is a bit flaky *g*). But like I said on LJ, I'm really liking it: his narrative style reminds me of Rosemary Sutcliff's.

Hi Gemma -it's always good to meet people with whom you can exchange Frasier quotes! Fascinating poetry collection you have there.

I'm going to be here for ALL TIME. It'll be like The Nine Billion Names of God. When I finish cataloguing, the stars will start going out.
