About me My name's Rob - and I'm a playwright living in London. I'm best known, I expect, for my work on Doctor Who - I brought the Daleks back to the screen to menace Christopher Eccleston a few years back! But for all that, I'm rather prouder of my fiction. My first book, Tiny Deaths, a collection of short stories, is currently up for a couple of World Fantasy Awards (fingers crossed, you never know) and was nominated for the Edge Hill Short Story Prize and the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award earlier in 2008. My second collection, Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical, is out early next year. Do consider giving them a read, if quirky short stories are your sort of thing!
About my library I'm very lucky - I've a house just about big enough to cope with the demands of my enormous (and ever growing!) book collection. I still have to smuggle them in when my wife isn't there to notice, however; both she and the cat are being edged out of the place! I love books - the smell of a new one, and the touch of an old one that has been loved already. Oh - and they're good for reading, too.

I'm very flattered that you've added me to your interesting list!
I've been visiting your page from time to time, as you've been top of the list for raw overlap right from my first day on LT - mind you, I expect that's the case with quite a few people, considering your huge collection (I used to think I had quite a lot of books...)
The interesting thing is, of course, that we don't even appear on each other's wieghted lists. I still have most of upstairs to add - including all the scifi, and a-m fiction - and poetry, plays, history and art. I wonder if that will change things?
Your short stories sound like sort of thing I like, I will have to get hold of them.
I have to add (sorry) that my children will be thrilled to know that the man who brought back the daleks likes my library! (I'm pretty thrilled myself!)
Best wishes,
Goldengrove.

Oh, also, I am just starting to read Zwilling's Dream, and I saw that you had it in your library too, and I was wondering if you've read it yet?
