Lists of Bests: stagger's "Books I own" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/532 ...as of 14 MAR 2006 (well, it's not even close to being complete). Or they may be my spouse's. I've been meaning to inventory them for renters insurance purposes anyway (along with whatever else I have). Of course, I've been meaning to do that for years and years. Hmm, I should put that on 43things. Given the nature of things the actual editions may not be correct. I'll enter them in the vague order they are on the bookshelves behind me. They aren't really organized; I'll get around to that "eventually". Hmm, I should also put that on 43things... Maybe I'll try to keep this list alphabetized.
