About My Library

I've tried to re-construct 50+ years of reading. The 'Print' collection is what is actually on my shelves, which I try to keep to a minimum. 'To Read' are books that are in my library that I have yet to read. 'Wishlist' are books that I think I would like to read, but are not in my library. The other categories are self-explanatory.

Update: I took an extended leave from LT in 2020-2024 for many reasons. As of January 2025 I am trying to be more involved again and am retro-cataloguing.

My profile picture is Claudio Monteverdi.
