Hi,
Glad you like the blog. Yes, the title is from Lichtenberg... no one else has noticed that! Haven't yet got around to reading La Rochefoucauld, but he's on my list.
Great library, by the way...

Andy, every time I find an interesting library, you are always near the top of the list of users who share their books. The 107 we share are fairly standard, though we both have interests in cultural history (though I use the tag 'social history' more frequently) and vegetarian cooking (though I have realised that I haven't added my cookbooks yet!). Anyway, just thought I'd compliment you on the collection! All the best, Sam
