About meProgrammer by profession, accountant by education, historian by avocation

About my libraryIf a book is about a ship (warship or ocean liner) or an aircraft, heavier-than air (I prefer 'burning (jet) to turning (propeller)') or lighter-than-air, I'll buy it or at least add it to my to-buy list. History is also a weakness especially the American Civil War, the Byzantine Empire, the Middle East and modern (post-nineteenth century) naval warfare.

I did read science fiction more but have gotten out of the habit.
