Sobre mimI'm a long-time book lover, now retired on the shores of Cape Cod. Despite the English major, I ended up in a mostly technical career with IBM and Pfizer, much of it Japan. I miss Kitazawa bookstore in Tokyo.

Currently reading:

Sobre a minha bibliotecaThe books reflect an early interest in Joyce and Irish literature -- I actually won one of the old Saturday Review library awards in college, which I used to buy a vintage set of Harvard Classics. More recently I've been interested in early American history, especially the dissonance that comes when different cultures meet and start to interact. Our overseas experience ties in with that, of course, and we have lots of books about Japan and the other places we've been able to visit.

Stipulation: I haven't catalogued thousands of science fiction books from the 60s and 70s that are now in boxes waiting for donation to the library sale when I get around to hauling them all down there.
