I'm an avid reader with a keen interest in what some call "The Classics", crime expecially European, non-fiction and contemporary writing. I read fast and voraciously, and always seem to have loads of things backed up to read.

Recently I've been trying to read as many Nobel Prizewinners for Literature as feasible/desirable, and have managed to get through quite a few of these with the help of bookcrossing.

I enjoy travel too, and try and leave books whenever I'm on holiday, if it seems appropriate. My best catches to date have been on holiday in Scotland last year, and a book left in my nearby park that made it to Poland. This Summer, I left a book in Carcassonne, S France, and it has travelled to Australia. Various wild releases in Cardiff/UK have made it to Bavaria and New York.

We're active bookcrossers in Cardiff: I jointly manage Kemis Cafe with Cassiopeia, and we have four other official zones, as well as a lot of wild releasing. There are also bookcrossing shelves in Coffee#1 in Abergavenny and Chepstow.
