About My Library

It's a lot of tie-in fiction. This account is especially dominated by Star Trek books (I bought almost every one published between 1999 and 2009, but I've slowed down of late) and Doctor Who and Doctor Who-adjacent audio dramas from Big Finish Productions. Outside of that, I own a lot of comics (especially DC), Doctor Who novels (especially ones featuring the Eighth Doctor or Bernice Summerfield), British literature (especially Victorian), science fiction and books about science fiction, Penguin Classics, and fantasy fiction (especially the Oz books).

I am slowly working my way through my very lengthy reading list (over 600 books on it, but it's been slowly decreasing). I've also been reading through a few different series/authors systematically:
- every three months: Doctor Who novels
- every five months: Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan saga
- every six months: Legion of Super-Heroes
- every nine months: Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere
- every ten months: Naomi Novik's Temeraire
- every twelve months: Charles Dickens

I'm also slowly working my way through the complete works of Moto Hagio, Manjula Padmanabhan, Harvey Pekar, Cordwainer Smith, and Barry Gifford. Very slowly.

About Me

I'm an academic who studies British literature, from 1800 to the present. My primary area of interest is the intersection of science and literature; I'm at work on a book project about the scientist in British fiction from 1818 to 1909. I'm also interested in H. G. Wells, science fiction of the 1870s through the 1890s, sf stories depicting revolution/terrorism, graphic novels, and post-1980 British fiction (especially metafiction).

For fun I also read Star Trek, Star Wars, and Doctor Who novels (though not as much as I did ten years ago), assorted other science fiction, and superhero comic books. And lots of other stuff; I have pretty catholic tastes.
