About meLongtime science enthusiast, working in a science store currently after a varied career. Also great fan of history, literature, detective stories, science fiction, poetry... you get the idea...

About my libraryIt will take a very long time for me to catalogue everything in my library... Who knew? Frankly, I don't think that this endeavour will just be a time-sink... more of a vast temporal fissure. My library reflects my current and enduring interests, whether they are in science, literature, history, or whatever else has caught my eye over the years.
