The Library of Allenxandria
A Latin and Ancient History teacher by day, when I'm not at school I love talking about books! I primarily read adult Fantasy and Sci-Fi. I especially love swashbuckling adventure fantasy, Discworld, and military fantasy. Some of my current favorite series are The Greatcoats, the Books of Babel, The Black Company, and, of course, The City Watch Discworld novels.
I love challenges and games, though I rarely win these, so am forced to partake in horrible punishments. I'm much better at real-life board games.
I love the Lord, my wife, and my pets. I hope you enjoy your stay here at the Library!
