About my libraryI no longer have space to accumulate books as I would like and I have not listed all of the books that I own in my personal library, just the ones I know that I would never part with. Fortunately, I am lucky enough to live in a city with a great public library with an excellent inter-library loan system to keep my reading habit satisfied. I am using LT to keep track of what I read and how much I read from year to year.
