About My Library

Almost all books I own. There are some library books from when I imported my borrowed books en masse, but I don't keep up with it. Besides I'm trying to cut back on borrowing books and letting them sit on my shelves for the longest time -- I have enough unread books of my own.

I started doing this because I was buying an embarrassing number of duplicates. I still do, just not as many.

About Me

Originally from the UK, was living in the USA (9 years), now back again. Lapsed anarchist turned vaguely responsible father
