About meAfter a degree in philosophy and several careers, I'm currently doing freelance web development. Over the years I have maintained an active interest in philosophical issues--undergraduate-style issues, not the tiny little academic issues--and in offshoots of that interest: political theory, theology, religious history, comparative religions, and so on. Two-thirds of what I read is non-fiction. I'm shy and polite and get around on a bicycle.

About my libraryMy reading ranges wider than a glance at my LT library would suggest. I'm trying to keep up with current acquisitions and reading and only slowly entering older material. I'm not a puppy and I'm trying to catalog and categorize my reading more than my library, so there's a lot of catching up to do. Wide reading in fiction of all kinds is almost unrepresented as is a fairly large technical library related to software development.

Like most everyone, probably, I don't try for anything like objectivity in my reviews: I just try to say how well a book met my expectations, or how well it compares with similar stuff and accept that my rating system is completely idiosyncratic.
