About My Library
To the best of my knowledge, all of the books in my library are physically present in this catalogue. Whew! All of the books entered are ones I actually currently own, not ones I'd like to purchase, or have read, or checked out of the library. The only exceptions are a handful of books I have written reviews of but no longer own; these are in the collection "Reviewed but unowned." While I have a lot of eBooks, I have not attempted to catalogue them here.

My library is heavily weighted toward speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and horror). I also have a fairly large collection of pulp fiction and role-playing games. My non-fiction collection is a bit sparse because I use the library for most of my non-fiction.

I'm always interested in conversing with folks about books, so feel free to drop me a line if you see anything that catches your fancy in my library. I appreciate feedback about my reviews as well.

In recent years I have had two major purges in my library: one in 2017 (when I got rid of at least 700 books, donating many to Duke University's Special Collections) and another in 2021 (when I purged about 1500 additional volumes).
About Me
Lifelong bibliophile. I mostly read genre literature: science fiction, fantasy, horror, crime/mystery, and pulp fiction, among others. I have also been playing role-playing games since 1981.

I'm a voracious reader and a fairly prolific reviewer. Please check out my book review blog, Tales from the Bookworm's Lair (URL listed below), for some of my recent book reviews.
