About meAcademic historian, coffee aficionado, jazz enthusiast, chess amateur, former philosopher, and armchair theologian.
About my libraryMy main historical interests--which also account for most of my books--are in nineteenth-century American history, abolitionism, antebellum reform, and African American history. (Apparently, I am also attracted to alliteration.) I had a brief stint as a philosophy graduate student, which netted me a master's degree and a residuum of philosophy books. The small covey of theological books is for furthering my desultory self-education in theology. There is also a smattering of fiction. By using the "to read" tag, I'm trying to create a tiny little voice in my head that will restrain me the next time I am in my local Borders.
