Tietoja minusta I currently work at the Social Computing Lab of HP. My research interests include social networks, mechanism design, stochastic modeling, and the comparative study of western and Japanese detective fiction. I like all kinds of mathematical puzzles and interview problems.

I spend most of my spare time studying detective novels, playing badminton, hacking Perl/Ruby on one of my Macs, and/or watching videos. I occasionally play my Nintendo DS Lite.

Tietoja kirjastostani I prefer classic puzzlers, especially those falling into the impossible crime subgenre, rather than modern suspense or thrillers. My favorite author is undoubtedly John Dickson Carr, followed by either Ellery Queen or Shimada Soji. I resent Raymond Chandler.

Thanks so much for the compliments. But wait... THERE'S MORE! If I can find the time (and patience) to add the rest of the creme de la creme to my LT shelves I'm sure I'll have you drooling over the rest of the treasure trove. ANd one of these days I'll add scans of the covers and DJs. But my abused eyes and fingertips just can't take much of this computer overtime required. BTW... I read Tokyo Zodiac Murders last year and was bowled over by its ingenuity. Wish there was more of his work in English translation. Also found a very cheap copy of Tattoo Murder Case by another prolific Japanese crime writer which I bought and read. Less ingenious in plot but was certainly a gripping and often creepy read.

Fang -- I was recently alerted to this website through some Bookcrossing friends. Started adding all my rarities to show off to the world. ;^D Then I clicked on shared books and your name came up. I thought: Could this be the Fang who has been buying books from me? And it was. Impressive library. Can you point me to some Japanese authors in English translation worth reading? I just acquired nearly all of Shizuko Natsuki's mysteries (don't have The Third Lady it's ridiculously scarce and consequently overpriced by the few sellers who have it on the internet). Thanks. Nice running into you on Library Thing. Best, John

Great collection, Fang. Your interest in and research in the mystery genre really intrigues me. Mind if we talk? I'm writing a book and would love to pick your brain. I have some questions if you are game.

Now I am off to browse your website and blog.

Let me know or just email me directly (found on my page).

Cheers,

Thomas

"did you ever have the luck finding a copy of "the devil that slumbers", which proposed FOUR "impossible crime" problems?"

Sort of. If I recall correctly, the Boston Public Library system has a copy--for in-library use only ie. no inter-library loans. I do know two people in the Boston area, so I suppose at some point I could plead with either of them to photocopy the text.

Do you like Norman Berrow? One of his books has three impossible situations (I think it's "The Bishop's Sword"). I haven't read it but I was quite impressed with his "The Footprints of Satan" with its disappearing trail of footprints in the snow scenario.

Thanks for the invitation Fang. I'm glad that you're enjoying my mystery collection. The 1930s is certainly my favourite decade for mystery stories. At the moment I'm just finishing Warner Allen's "The Uncounted Hour", a manor house story with some "locked room" content. (You can check out the dust jacket at facsimiledustjackets.com--an interesting site to browse and discover some new authors).

And I envy your J.J. Connington collection!

Hey, Fang! I just logged on to Library Thing for the first time in months, and found that you'd invited me to be an LT Friend. Hey, sorry it's taken me a month to respond. I like your collection. Delld Mapback, Queen, and Carr - it doesn't get much better than that. (Except that unlike you, I do like Chandler). I'm also interested in Japanese crime fiction. I don't know if you spotted the Japanese books in my collection. A few mysteries, a few translations, a few manga, but mostly language texts. If you've done any writing on "the comparative study of western and Japanese detective fiction" I'd love to read it. Cheers, Steve
