Below is a catalog of the physical, digital, and audio books I own. I always enjoy reading others' lists and browsing their bookshelves, so this intended to be a digital version of that.

Some of these books have given me a priceless education: A good book gets better on the second reading, a great book on the third. Any book not worth rereading isn’t worth reading but I still include them.

"What is your alma mater?"
"Books."
