About meI study World War I. I edit the magazine of the World War One Historical Association. I also read a LOT of fiction (and very fast, too). I would rather read than eat, I would sooner read than sleep.

About my libraryI got back and forth between entering every book I ever liked, or every title I can think of, or everything I've ever read -- but that would skew my library toward mysteries, and my WWI books are much more important to me, even though I haven't begun to read them all.
