About meCurrently trying to, well, *kindle * interest in a state of the art, zeitgeist - grabbing online parlour game"#battEbooks" g read more about it here : http://blindelectricray.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/batt-e-books-a-call-to-arms.html

About my libraryI love philosophy, especially the philosophy of science, and find web 2.0 quite fascinating and thus read a lot of non fiction, but the fiction I do read I get quite obsessed with: James Ellroy, Thomas Harris in particular are favourites.
