My library is currently double shelved or stored in boxes pending more shelves, so what's catalogued at the moment is mostly what's easy to see, or has had sufficient impact on me to remember straight off.

I'd like to say my reading tastes are either catholic or eclectic, but would have to own that perhaps they're just not terribly discriminating. I read contemporary fiction/literary fiction in large quantities, and a fair bit of fantasy and crime/detective fiction. I'm also interested in current affairs, politics, political theory, economics, science and history of science.

I'm a (mostly-) civil servant, living and working in Dublin, Ireland: hobbies include travel, and trying not to be too lousy a travel companion while disliking heights, spiral staircases, and, you know, people; aspiring to be a gourmet, while being a picky eater and drinker; and general pedantry, which I usually try to restrain in public. I also have cats. And a fairly tolerant husband.
