- About My Library
My reviews are based on the 2,300-odd books that I have read since I started keeping track in the early 1960s - I love science fiction, novels, classics, biography and poetry. My first books were The Hardy Boys mysteries. After that, my favorite mystery authors that got me to reading: Agatha Christie and Rex Stout.
- About Me
Lived in San Francisco Bay Area 1973-2000. The seminal moments/times in my life: being born in Brazil, the JFK assassination, losing everything in a fire in the mid-80s, the Loma Prieta earthquake, living in Bangkok for four years. Most recently, I have also lived in Albuquerque where I grew up. I currently reside in Pittsburgh, PA.
