Sobre mimCollege, which ought to have led me to become an English lit scholar, instead took me to law school, where I learned just enough real law to frighten my future clients. I'm now a mutual fund attorney, drafting boilerplate disclosures that nobody reads but which are required nonetheless in all their multitudes. The chief blessing of this vocation has been to enable me to buy and read (nearly) all the books I want, which is probably the next best thing to literary scholarship, with none of the publish-or-perish nonsense. I'm also married with two young daughters.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaInterests evolve, of course, but presently I'm most interested in 17th century English literature (including theology, drama and poetry), 18th century English lit (particularly Boswell & Johson), and "early" (pre-Tolkien) fantasy literature (including Lost Race books and pulps). In the past couple of years I've been building out my Victorian novel collection and also been acquiring 19th & 20th century collections of ghost stories and psychic detective stories. From time to time I also supplement my collection of books relating to the First World War.

Recently I seem to have developed a weakness for multi-volume critical/scholarly editions. This has substantially increased my library in the 16th-18th century areas, and substantially reduced my liquid capital. I tend to think that if in an alternate existence I ever became a professor, my goal would be to produce as many critical editions as possible.
