Hello all. I'm an 28 years old bibliophile, living in Kgs. Lyngby just north of Copenhagen, Denmark.

One of my main literary interests is the great biographer James Boswell and his journals. I'm somewhat proud of my collection of 40+ Boswell related books, including a few rather rare ones :-) I've even made a website about him called James Boswell - a Guide (http://www.jamesboswell.info/)

Apart from this, I've got quite a few works of philosophy, mainly due to my time (soon to be over) as a student of Business Administration and Philosophy :-) In this field, David Hume is my favourite.

Other favourite authors include (but are in no way limited to) Thomas Hardy, Jerome K. Jerome, Tolkien, George Orwell, Terry Pratchett and Evelyn Waugh. That should be something for most tastes.

I hope to join in some interesting literary (and other) discussions on this forum. So - that's my introduction :-)

-Thomas
