About meI am a 33 year-old student at the City University of New York studying eighteenth-century American history.
About my libraryMy primary interest, as you can see from my collection, is the American Revolution. I am also interested in philosophy and the history of philosophy. This library represents all the books I have collected over the last 3-4 years as my previous collection that I had put together throughout my twenties was lost to water damage. I tend to go through sale bins at public and school libraries and usually find something relevant to my studies. I have gotten most of my older "classics" of Early American history this way. I am also a compulsive Amazon shopper, though it is usually for great deals on used books.

How are you finding The Education of historians for the 21st Century -- I didn't think it too informative. It did make the point that academia should only be considered as one possible career path.
So what part of New Jersey are you from?

I was browsing your books, and noticed several interesting ones that I ended up ordering. Thanks for the ideas.
So, do you like CUNY? Have you settled on a thesis/dissertation topic?
Here's hoping your summer is going well!
