Top Shelf

Top Shelf Books, first posted December 22, 2024.

This website was originally devoted to:

• a list of all the books I bought or read, and where they were located; and,
• literature (not science, not math, no history, not biographies, etc.

This page will now include those non-literature books (which are tracked here) and will be separated by category, hoping to minimize the list to "my top shelf' books for each category.
