# The Library

"Show me what you read and I will tell you who you are."

Not exactly a quote but a sentiment I very much agree with. Buying a book, reading it, and potentially rereading it is an investment. Not only of your money but more importantly of your time.

I have decided to keep a list of books I own here for two reasons.

First and foremost as a resource for like-minded people. Sometimes I find myself in situations where either I or someone I know mentions something in passing that to them is a trivial thing. Something they assume common knowledge, not even worth mentioning. That little detail then goes on to have a large effect on someone who did not know that piece of information. Not only do we not know what we do not know, but we also often are oblivious to what others do not know but we take for granted.

In addition, it might help you the reader of my work judge where my interests lie. This might help you in evaluating my background and context, allowing you to form insights into what I write and why I write it.

The list is in no particular order although I try keeping similar works together.
