About meJust got my MPhil in Classics. My interests are pretty wide (as would be reflected if this were actually my entire library), but I have an obscene number of Classics books.
About my libraryI have too many books. The likelihood of me ever putting all of them up is slim. I've finally updated a great number of my Classical studies books, though this is still far from complete. Most of my Shakespeare is missing (mostly because I'd have to go track them all down and figure out which editions I have!), as are many other "obvious" books (for the same reason). Slowly, slowly I shall add them . . .
Also, yes, those duplicates are really duplicates (or triplicates . . . ). And yes, sometimes they are the same exact edition. Why? Because I keep buying things I already have. oops. Some duplicates *might* be for sale, but only if they're actually the same edition.
