    I was going to ask... Are you related to the famous translator?

    but I had the surname(s) a bit mixed up...........

    R. J. Hollingdale (Reginald John Hollingdale, 1930–2001) was a British biographer and translator, especially known for his translations of German philosophy and literature, including the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Goethe, E. T. A. Hoffmann, G. C.
    Lichtenberg, and Schopenhauer.
