Real Name: Alan Moreton (Thomas Henry Edward Tortoise)!
About My Library: For some strange reason over the years I have completely lost several libraries, the last one I had to leave behind in South Africa which consisted of some rare books, collected over 20 years or so, which I will probably never find again. I have about 200 books which I love and want to read again. Books that I never intend to read again I give away to Charity shops.

About Me: If you are dropping by for the first time, please leave me a message to say Hi, or to share what you are reading. I would love to hear from you and I will reply.

I am a confirmed lifelong bibliophile and LibraryThing is like finding a family of like-minded individuals! So don't be shy, just say Hi!

“Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him out to the public.” Winston Churchill
