About meI am married with four children. I am paid to work with computers, and I commute to work. In the summer I sail, and in the winter I wrap up warm and economise on heating.

About my libraryRecently, I moved all my stuff into a larger room in the house, put up proper shelves and got my books properly sorted out. Then I decided to catalogue them all. My first sf book - The New Tomorrows edited by Norman Spinrad, a gift from my grandad, who probably didn't know what was in it. I started buying sf as a teenager in the 1970's (Asimov, Wyndham, E.E.Smith), and branched out only a bit since. I have been through a fantasy phase, and there has been ongoing interest in history and pop science (after I realised there was no money in the real science I did.)
