/lit/ - Literature

It's largely happenstance that the chair in my office is by that section of books. History gets more contemporary the farther right you go, and then other office bookcases have different books/subjects.

Interests are pretty diverse but there is not a good way of saying that without sounding too full of myself unfortunately. Like reading history (particularly of ancient greece), 20th century literature and poetry, and contemporary politics. Also enjoy traveling, drinking (wine, spirits), fermenting/distilling, and gardening. Mess around with various other DIY stuff too.

>wtf is someone seemingly so well-read doing in a bureaucracy?
Just kind of happened; first job out of university was with a large city doing general policy work because it paid well for an entry-level job. Did well enough in it to move up to higher levels there and in different cities, and the pay and benefits have been good. I don't come from wealth (my parents were middle/lower middle class and worked their way up to upper-middle class, so I was comfortable growing up but no trust fund or large inheritance or family estate to go back to), so I still need to work for a living. Being somewhat well read (which I wouldn't even say I am compared to many other anons here) has been helpful in general.
