My library

Here you can find a list of books I currently own. Please note it lists every book I own including:

books from childhood
novelty/joke gifts
books given to me for free (and I never turn down free books whatever they are)

So don't read too much into them (pun intended) as they don't all necessarily reflect my current views/interests. If you have any questions on particular books I own or any suggestions for books I should check out, please let me know. All books are ordered by Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) using OCLC Classify.
