About My Library
Mostly comprised of history and the classics. Most modern fiction authors just don't appeal to me.
About Me
Just your average history and literature nerd, and proud of it!

My main focus in history is the Italian Renaissance, and I'm a proud member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). It gives me a good excuse to read obscure renaissance literature and text books.
