An old Victorian bibliophile and geeky young boy in the same body. I've been on the Internet since the mid-'80s. I'm an old school tabletop roleplayer and game master. Grew up among the 0.001%, which is why I hate capitalism and bullies. But I love cats!

Speaking of book recommendations: if anyone would like a personalized book recommendation, please feel free to ask! I've probably read more books, particularly older books, than 99% of the human race. And my memory for books is unusually good. So I'd be glad to make a recommendation for anyone who needs one.
Now, I •will• note that I haven't read that many books that were published after the year 2000 or so. I've read some, and I'm trying to read more, but just not that many.
Also I've seen a trend in book recommendation requests that I really can't oblige. Some people seem to want books that are written by someone who is exactly like themselves and which are about someone exactly about themselves. So, for example:
"I want a book written by a left-handed red-haired triple amputee with a birthmark the shape of an iguana on a pineapple who's only attracted to toothless Algerian basket-weavers and has an allergy to water. The book needs to be about a stamp collector who has a pet monkey with purple fur and learns to overcome their fear of leprechauns."
Okay, I'm exaggerating but not by that much. If you want a recommendation like that, I can't help you!
Otherwise, I'm all ears. 🤣
