About me50-something, semi-retired from business planning and marketing, I've been a reader as long as I can remember and went from loving libraries as a child to loving bookshops. I do get out from time to time to watch professional football and cricket of uncertain quality. Currently studying chemistry with the Open University for no good reason.

About my libraryMy library grew rapidly in my student years and again when I worked in Shaftesbury Avenue, London, a couple of minutes from 4 large bookshops.

I read a wide range, fiction from the 1920's onward, science fiction, the comic end of the fantasy range, UK and US politics, history, science, technology and anything else that catches my eye. I have read most of what is in my library, though I did give up on a few (Ulysses p 134).
