- About My Library
Once upon a time this was going to be a library of every book I had. However, over the last several years it has been a great library of every book I read instead. For each book I read I log it along with a star rating, a few tags, and the date finished. Since I started reviewing short fiction, almost all of my for-fun book-length reading has been non-fiction.
- About Me
I'm a engineer and sf/f reviewer living near Denver, CO. I love books and reading, and have forever. I have a degree in Physics, and a Master's in Electrical Engineering, but I'm also a member of the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts. I like to say that engineering is my vocation and reading/reviewing is my avocation. I review speculative fiction short stories for Locus magazine.
