About me Reader of all sorts of things, usually all at once. I like to learn languages from books which is a strange occupation and which results in me never learning to understand anyone else when they speak as well as my being frozen with fear when I try to open my mouth in a language in which I can speak quite a bit when alone which in turn leads to me forgetting how to speak said language. Otherwise I am mostly sane.

About my library Mix of mine and my wife's. Mostly ours anyway. But I claim no responsibility for the Agatha Christie obsession! Mostly fiction. Growing collection of history and some light philosophy. A few biographies and autobiographies. Lots of cookbooks. Their inclusion says something about the place of cooking in our lives. Some of our favourite kids books from when we were little. Where to draw the line though?

Yes, I think I may have to wrap it is black plastic and dispose of that book. You know, now that I think of it, I don't think I ever read it anyway. I have a few odd books like that one. Something called 'The Winning Family', again one I don't recall ever opening. I think I may have tried to get into the self help phase at some time in the nineties but it was clearly not interesting enough reading and I abandoned it. Maybe that is when I took up red wine a bit more seriously!

I have the same dilemma. Do I admit to having Dan Brown in the house, albeit buried behind Kurt Vonnegut, and does the world really need to know there's a copy of that bloody awful Men from Mars Women from Venus twaddle?

What to leave in, what to leave out? Am I cataloguing my books or presenting a picture of myself as I'd like to be seen? Do I leave in all the Agatha Christies and Le Carres? What about the old kids books and the slightly embarrassing self-help books? "Cure yourself of warts", that sort of thing.
