Book-based blogger, and er... well, whatever-comes-my-way. UK based. Main interest areas: literature (chiefly european) history (chiefly european) the arts: music, painting, sculpture, architecture, yadda yadda yadda ( gedda da picture?) new science most other things too I rather like this comment, to quote myself (aiee, the hubris, but once in a long while I nail it for myself) as representative of the current state of this blog's reason d'etre: "to question the 'sacrosanct respect for language use, and display its unreliability, its imprecision, its less than worthy credentials for acting as our instrument for understanding, and survival.'" Gotcha!
