About My Library
The books I have listed are all the books I have either owned or read. I keep a separate wishlist elsewhere as I don't want to muddy up the LT waters. I'm trying to read a book in every Dewey Decimal section.
About Me

I'm a voracious reader/collector with over 1,900 books in my library. Although, from looking through some readers and libraries here, I'm not as voracious as one might think.

Unfortunately, I have decided to embark on the Dewey Challenge, but I'm more than 60% of the way done.
