Wyote2
[edit]I used to be wyote but I lost that password, so now I've creatively renamed myself. I support myself privately teaching English, literature and history; my intellectual pleasures include biology, physics, mathematics, economics and strategy games, but my actual expertise (academic training) is in religious studies.
My Useless Opinions, etc
[edit]If you've found your way here, who knows why, perhaps you'll forgive me for recommending some fascinating books?
(I'll link or delete these later, but I don't have time now. This is really just an excuse for me to practice various aspects of wiki code.)
