About meMy father is a compulsive collecter of classics, near-classics, and "instant masterpieces" as defined by Kirkus Reviews, ca. 1973. To this day, my own collection tends more to genres and outliers than mainstream fiction.
About my libraryI've got a modestly-sized humor collection, a few classic mysteries, and some Budget Holmesiana(TM). Other than that, it's Everygeek's Library. And yes, there's a smattering of comics in here, but it's a select smattering.
At the moment, I'm going for "own" and "have read" and (mostly) "have enjoyed" as criteria for adding books here. Plus a few interesting failures, because where would humanity be without occasional snark? Wellington, New Zealand, that's where.

The Boy Detective Fails was one of those books that enjoyed reading at the time, but I'll be damned if I can tell you anything about the book. I just have this vague feeling of enjoyment. Oh well.
