About My Library

I have a few thousand books acquired partly in the old-fashioned romantic way (hours in used bookstores, travel, serendipity) and partly in the anodyne 21st century consumerist way (hours on amazon). I have my preferences.

The ~1500 catalogued here to date represent my university years-to-current pleasure-reading interests and constitute about a third of the books in my home (to my wife's chagrin).
