About meI used to be a big-city corporate professional type, but now I am working in theatre and loving it. Over the years I have studied literature, philosophy and law, as well as theatre.

About my libraryI have not finished indexing all of my books, but now that I have a bit more time on my hands, I am trying to do so. In the meantime, I am adding new books as I acquire them and reviewing books as I read them.

Theatre, literary fiction and philosphy are the main focal points, but there are some real outliers (some, but not all, of which were gifts). There is a fair amount of material in German.

Since published play texts are often sold at the theatre when a plays are performed, and since I see a lot of new plays, my collection of new play texts is growing relatively quickly.
