About my libraryRight, I've reached the limit of two hundred books, and have no way of sending currency overseas, so this is it for now: merely a representative selection of my favourites. I don't own thousands - only those few hundred that have survived repeated moves or that have been acquired since the last.

I have included all my Jane Austen because I have to, and wish I could add all the Stoppard and Moomintroll, because they're representative too. This two hundred includes almost all my linguistics, because it's interesting to see who else has those, and a scattering (Persian, Swahili, Quechua etc.) of my languages.

Where possible I am fixing the absurd guesses at edition to correctly reflect such things as dates. Who on earth imagines Persuasion should be dated 2003, or that a book title ever contains the words 'Penguin Classics'?

Yes, I do own some Tolkien, Adams, and Rowling, but ownership of these doesn't tell you anything particular. The Jane Austens already skew the 'Users with your books' figures badly enough as it is. And too many people have Virgil, Joyce, and Arundhati Roy for these to be distinctive.
