About meMy reading tastes are eclectic: I usually read about four or five books at a time, with at least one of those being either non-fiction or fiction, depending on the others.

I've got a PhD in Medieval history, but have abandoned academica for a career in drafting: I really enjoy learning and am perpetually curious. Due to (very) frequent geographical relocation on my part and current lack of space (and funds), I don't own as many books as I've read: I get most of my reading from various libraries.

One day I will own a place which will have walls, floors, tables and chairs covered in books (",)

About my libraryI'd like to add every book I've ever read... but that's a Herculean task if there ever was one! Since joining LibraryThing in 2007, I've faithfully added every book I've read.
