Philosophy and political theory, modern literature (with strong British and Central European influences); environment and nature studies; history; language; poetry; some remnants of past academic work. I try to keep a good balance between works that I've read and admired and will dip into again, and those that I plan to start in the near future. I am a slow reader.

Information ecologist and lifelong book lover, I overcame creeping bibliomania in 2004 by breaking up a collection of some 2,000 works. Formerly, I worked as a library page and circulation desk clerk, English teacher, university lecturer, educational technology reseller, community activist and environmental director. Today, I manage an information clearinghouse for the United Nations in Geneva and am exploring virtual ways of fulfilling my passion for collecting books.
