About meI'm a lively perpetual student, intellectually omnivorous, with a surreal and distinctly mischievous sense of humour. My main interests are linguistic in nature - languages, linguistics, history and development of languages, and the way languages interrelate. I am especially interested in Italian, and am currently translating the poetry in the Vita Nova (very slowly, as work and other commitments allow). I also sing tenor (yes, really!) and live with three cats.

About my libraryYou'll find pretty much everything here apart from horror and erotica.

Hey, tenor_mongoose, thanks for your comment!

Recommendation engines are becoming very good by their own right, and I am glad that I can point you to books that you think you'll like, even if I am just meat. My experience is that when machines know little about me their book recommendations are good, but for books that most of the time I already have. When they know more about me they become lazy, and just pick an additional title for an author I have read books from... Even so my wishlist on Amazon is growing every day http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/1Z1HXR... and I have little hope of being able and ever read all I'd want to.
