About meCurrently reading:
Give me liberty! Divine Comedy Poems and Songs of Robert Burns History of Private Life V

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.

Hi Eric,

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!

I stumbled upon your library, not sure how exactly - I think we share a number of books - and then made my way to your reviews. I always find what people read to be fascinating, though invariably different from I read. You have an impressively eclectic mix. I thought you were a bit hard on Freud, but who isn't these days. Also, you seem to be interested in colonialism, or the remnant affects of it. Have you read any Conrad? I'd be interested to hear your take on how he portrays exploitation in his novels.

Anyways, nice library. Happy reading!!

HH
Cool, thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. -Mike
