About meLet’s see, odds and ends…I love to travel, have a strange fondness for garden gnomes, enjoy reading inaugural addresses of dead presidents, and for fun, will act out Shakespeare’s plays with my friends. In other words, I’m a geek.

About my libraryMy library is truly my best outward expression of my personality and interests. Classic fiction, theater, history, special interest topics of the oddest variety, and much much more. I go through phases and tastes when it comes to reading so my favorites are always changing. A few that have remained constant are: Alexandre Dumas (Count of Monte Cristo, Three Musketeers), George Orwell (1984, Animal Farm), Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre), Richard Adams (Watership Down), Christopher Moore (Island of the Sequined Love Nun, Lamb), Nick Hornby (About a Boy, High Fidelity), and of course, Jane Austen (Northanger Abbey, Emma).

Thanks! Glad you discovered us. I'm a big fan of The Beetle, too, as well as Marsh's other novels, which are mostly quite good. I'm glad you enjoyed the notes to The Beetle too. I think the editor also did a good introduction and compiled some really interesting appendices.
Thanks! I'm glad you found us :) Witch of Ravensworth and Curios are probably my two favs of what we've done so far, just because they're so funny. Hope you enjoy them!
