About my libraryThere are really two different libraries here. One is my actual physical library, those books tagged "owned". The other is aspirational, or rather (since I will never be able to buy all of these books) it is best seen as a personal bibliography of works of interest. I use it to decide what to buy next and to keep track of useful books as I run across them. These books are tagged "wishlist". There are also a number of books tagged "read, unowned" which should be fairly self-explanatory.
My interests are eclectic, however they mainly lie in history, labor/class studies, radical politics and literature.
The library is meant to be viewed in LCCN order. I have completed a large tagging project, however, there are certainly errors and I make no pretense of completeness. Most books I've read have ratings with two stars as flawed, three as useful/good but not notable, four as very good/notable and five as excellent/classic.
Books I've read so far this year are here.
Books I plan to read soon are tagged up next. And my extended future reading plans are quixotically labeled StbR (Soon to be Read), it should only take a few years or so.
Suggestions, comments and questions are always appreciated.
(Prompt responses not guaranteed)
Thank you for your interest. Enjoy.

I was curious about the dissertation "Civil War draft Resistance in the Middle West." If I wanted a copy, how would I go about obtaining it? Do you know what it might cost? Is there somewhere that provides a synopsis of the dissertation?
You have an interesting library!
