About the Reader

I read across every shelf I can reach: psychology and philosophy, physics and folklore, Wodehouse and witches. I think as much about why genres work as what lives inside them. I write; I think about ideas for their own sake; I believe a good email is a small literary form and that beautiful things are worth making carefully. This library is where all of it lives.

The Shelves Abroad

My reading life also keeps a public diary. Shelves, ratings and the long to-read list live on Goodreads, growing by the week.

Recommend a Book

Every library grows by word of mouth. If a book changed the way you see things, tell me what it was — I’m always making room on a shelf.
