About My Library

I 1have only been using LibraryThing since 2021, so my collection here does not include the majority of books I have read. I am gradually adding those earlier books I consider important. I have vitelliform macular dystrophy and because of the resulting visual impairment, I can now only read audio books.

I am an active member of LT’s Club Read and I try to review the books I’m reading there.

About Me

Retired software engineer. Born and spent most of my life in Australia. Had intended to retire in Australia in 2017, but. due to decline in health I’m now permanently in New York. An expat in one of the best cities in the world.

Location

New York
