lol - normally the first thing i look at in someone's house are their collection of CD's ....then their collection of books - however, if they are like me, not the full collection is on display so its sometimes hard to get an accurate idea of what people are REALLY like! ;-D
Now now Sandy - i dont think i said 'hidden'.... rather 'not on display'...i read some books that have strange titles and they are not always what they seem! LOL
Serial killer fiction and forensic fiction, war crimes esp relating to Nazi and Stalinist Russia and a range of other history and archaeology, birdwatching field guides and reference, gardening books, psychology and medical law, science fiction, terry Pratchett and a range of odds and ends related to art crafts and hobbies, everything else I get from the library or online.
likes to look deep in to the (and their own) past with a melancholy reflection and imagine a utopian and fantastical future with a careful measure of sensibility and reality.
