About meSocialist scholar-activist types, corrupting young minds in various southern Ontario universities.
About my libraryThis library is the child of a marriage between two socialist academics. We each contributed lots on political economy and Latin America. One of us is into unions, social movements and fiction, and the other is devoted to philosophy, science, communication studies and the internet (studying it, that is). We are a bit obsessed with used books stores, and often come back from vacations with a trunk full of salvaged treasures. We organize our collection according to LCC numbers, which some find insane, but hey, it helps when you have to go to the university library.

Before the eye and progress of my Song
Like and unfather'd vapour; here that Power
In all the might of its endowments, came
Athwart me; I was lost as in a cloud,
Halted without a struggle to break through,
And now recovering to my Soul I say
I recognize they glory; in such strength
Of usurpation, in such visitings
Of awful promise, when the light of sense
Goes out in flashes that have shewn to us
The invisible world, doth Greatness make abode
There harbours whether we be young or old.
Our destiny, our nature, and our home
Is with infinitude, and only there;
With hope it is, hope that can never die,
Effort, and expectation, and desire,
And something evermore about to be."
— William Wordsworth (William Wordsworth's The prelude : with a selection from the shorter poems, the sonnets, The recluse, and The excursion and three essays on the art of poetry)

Just wanted to give a shout out to you since your names seem to consistently come up whenever I'm uploading onto my site. We both have roughly the same number of books, and I share 112 of them with you...though I'm still amazed that with all the total books in people's collections, the overlap isn't greater. Anyways, great stuff.
