About meA swell dame and a tough broad.
A lover of books and libraries and history and science.
And the history of science.
A reader of fiction and nonfiction and those things in the gray area in between.
About my libraryH.P. Lovecraft said it best:
I couldn't live a week without a private library - indeed, I'd part with all my furniture and squat and sleep on the floor before I'd let go of the 1500 or so books I possess.
