About My Library

I dream every day about the library I want to build in my garage. This is a 24' x 18' x 9' space that currently has an old wood-burning fireplace in the centre and a cement floor. I want to fill three walls with floor-to-ceiling hardwood bookcases and I want natural light to pour in from skylights in the rafters.

About Me

I am an avid reader and collector. I enjoy books on art, cooking, the Great War and the Roman Empire.
