About Me
If you’ve gotten this far into the site, then you’ll know I’m obsessed with aphorisms. And that’s really all you need to know — except that my encyclopedia of world aphorists — Geary’s Guide to the World’s Great Aphorists — is published by Bloomsbury USA.
My history of the aphorism The World in a Phrase was on The New York Times bestseller list, and has been translated into Italian, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish.
I am also the author of the popular science title The Body Electric: An Anatomy of the New Bionic Senses (click here for the U.K. edition), which has also appeared in Spanish.
Oh, and I like to juggle.
