About My Library
I primarily own works of history, historical fiction, and classics. In general I prefer fantasy to science fiction, but I do have works of science nonfiction in my library. I have 50+ how-to-write books, some of which I've actually read. When I worked in desktop publishing I acquired books on training, knowledge management, technical communication, markup languages, and software applications.

As of August 2025 I have maybe 20-25% of my library catalogued here. All books listed I own, with the exception of a few sold for a pittance to a used bookstore -- I will eventually update this. My wishlist is in a 5-subject notebook (two sections for fiction, two for non-fiction, and one for magazine articles & dissertations) and a slew of mini legal pads. I am considering a separate account to use for a potential wish/reading list.

About 90% of my current catalog is tagged. Most tags should be self-explanatory; however, any tag beginning with "@" is associated with fiction and identifies a place or motif in the novel.

I am a fan of J. W. Waterhouse and other Pre-Raphaelite art. I'm also a fan of international music. I like classical music peppy (Baroque, Slavic, etc.), rock alternative, and hip hop old school. I also love old movies -- Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Betty Hutton, Joan Blondell, and James Gleason are favorites. I love to dance and to watch dance.
