Hello, and thank you for visiting my bookshelf. GSX2 was my first car. My indoor hobbies include making stuff and trying to write a novel or at least a haiku. My outdoor hobby is shinty.

I will always be grateful to my dad for teaching me to read. He began this almost as soon as I could focus my eyes, using home-made flash cards and the daily newspapers, with the result that I could read well before I went to school and was spared the tedium of having to read "This is Janet. This is John." I wonder if those two finally got hitched, or what.

Until I discovered BookCrossing, I had more books than I knew what to do with. Now, I have more books than I know what to do with. The difference now is that some of my books are out there amongst my friends, including some friends that I haven't met yet.

I haven't done a wild release for ages, in case the cops thought it was an IED.

I am also probably the world's worst BookCrosser because I have a guilty secret involving a Bookring.......
