My interests

Armchair logic and critical thinking
My father had a lively mind and would engage my sister and I in discussions about art, philosophy, politics, religion, epistemology. He introduced me to Straight and Crooked Thinking by Robert H. Thouless, a practical manual for assessing and critically analysing flaws in reasoning and argument. I have been insufferable ever since.
Classical music
I have quite catholic tastes:
Haydn, Scarlatti, Bruno Maderna, Elgar, Fauré, Brahms, Dowland, Purcell, Frank Bridge, Schoenberg, Ferneyhough, Bartok, Bach (J.S.B and C.P.E), Hans Werner Henze, Schumann...
Classical guitar
the Latin language
Studied Latin at Secondary School. Then, much later as an adult, took it up again, using Teach Yourself Latin[1], Kennedy's Revised Latin Primer[2] and a decent-sized collection of Loebs and old French university text books which my mther's Latin teacher gave her. My favourite authors are Pliny the Younger, Petronius and Livy.
