About My Library

Too many books, too little space, too little time. Started to record the date I finished a book in the 1970s, so plan to digitise this, as well as the volumes on the shelves.

About Me

Long resident in Scotland. My reading alternates between history, biography, religion, art, architecture, travel, that sort of thing, interspersed with fiction, sometimes as light relief or when travelling. An early aim to read one book by as many authors as possible still lurks in the background but no longer applies.
