11 books by authors I have read before, in one case the same book. 1 book that I didn?t get to from my 2009 summer reading list. That book was purchased in 2008, 2 others in 2009, 6 in 2010, 12 in 2011 (8 this May). All were purchased from independent booksellers: 11 books purchased at Greenlight (my localest independent bookstore), 4 books purchased at the Strand, 3 from Better World Books, 1 at the Housing Works Bookstore, 1 from Powell?s, and 1 at Crow Bookshop. I had borrowed 4 of the books from the library before purchasing.
9 hardcover books; at least 5 now available in paperback, possibly 6.
5 books with subtitles, only 1 of which is fiction. 5 book titles starting with the letter C (in 1 case, this is the entirety of the title), 3 Ds, 2 Ws (4 authors whose last names and 1 whose first name start with W as well), 1 each B, F, G, H, K, L, N, O, R, S, and T. Initial letters not represented: A, E, I, J, M, P, Q, U, V, X, Y, and Z. Only Q and Z do not appear in a title at all.
Most common cover background colour: tan.
7445 pages in total.
Yes, this is ambitious. No, I probably won?t get through all of them. But I plan to do my damnedest, so we?ll see.
My Library in the 4th Dimension

My library unfurled in a way that is technically impossible. But I wanted an image that suggested what it was like to be in the room, which this does fairly well.
Great books from great people.
